Greta Thunberg says EU 'pretending' to be leader on climate

Green activist Greta Thunberg on Wednesday said an EU proposal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 was deeply insufficient and that Europe should not make false claims to be a leader on climate.

The European Union must stop "pretending that you can be a climate leader and still go on building and subsidising new fossil fuel infrastructure," the Swedish activist told a committee hearing at European Parliament.

Thunberg addressed MEPs as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a new draft law that Brussels hailed as a cornerstone of Europe's Green deal to fight climate change.
