From mowing messages to marches, UK's youth protest Trump's climate stance
LONDON, June 3 - An art student had a clear message for Donald Trump on Monday - mowing"climate change is real" and a massive polar bear into grass underneath the U.S. President's flight path into London.
"I decided to mow the message because Trump especially, but many leaders from across the entire world, refuse to believe in climate change and refuse to do anything about climate change," Nancarrow told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone. A growing global movement of young protesters demanding action on climate change - inspired by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg who started a weekly vigil outside parliament last year - has spread from Sweden across Europe, and to countries from the United States to Australia.
"It's a massive problem that the United States is not tackling climate change, but the UK is also massively lagging behind where we need to be on this," she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
