Greta Thunberg marches in Montreal for global climate protests

Teen activist Greta Thunberg has urged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other world leaders to do more for the environment as she led half a million protesters in Montreal as part of a global wave of "climate strikes."
"It's incredible to be united in such a way for a common cause," she told the cheering Montreal crowd, adding: "If the people in power won't take their responsibility, then we will."
"It should not be up to us, but somebody needs to do it. This is an emergency, and we will not be bystanders. We are the change and change is coming."

One man was tackled by security when he appeared to lunge at the prime minister, while 13-year-old Annabelle Vellend broke out in tears when she spotted Thunberg marching, telling AFP: "I really believe in Greta's movement."
The prime minister said after meeting Thunberg and pledging to fund the planting of two billion trees: "I agree with her entirely. We need to do more."
"We have to stop using so much plastic, cut back on eating meat and reuse clothes instead of buying new ones."
