“I want you to panic. I want you to act as if the house is on fire, because it is.” So said 16 year-old Swedish climate activist, Greta Thunberg. Her words were heard by millions around the world. Both of us really relate to what Greta said - we too feel panic. The two of us are nearly 40 years apart in age and come from different places - Germany (Sascha) and Ireland (Carol-Anne) but we share a commitment to climate justice,.
Carol-Anne: As an older queer activist now feel embarrassed that, for years and years, heard the news about climate change, but somehow ignored it. It felt distant from me. I didn’t realise that dangerous climate change is happening right now.
