The fossil fuel industry is a factory of fairy tales, says activist and School Strike for Climate organizer Luisa Neubauer. Tracing the industry’s five-decade trickle of lies about climate science, she busts the myth that economic growth and stability are dependent on fossil fuels — and issues a resounding message about how we can actually move towards a just world. “[The future] won’t be built for those who have brought us into this mess,” she says. “It will be built for everyone else.”
This talk was presented at an official TED conference. TED’s editors chose to feature it for you.
