		</div><p>Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg has led a march of thousands of Belgian students who skipped classes for the seventh Thursday in a row to march through Brussels and draw more attention to fighting climate change.</p>
<p>The 16-year-old first addressed a European Union conference, chiding adults for their inaction in the face of such climatic global dangers.</p>
<p><a href="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3136CE36-46F7-47B2-A3FD-29DC61825B77.jpeg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-126468" src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3136CE36-46F7-47B2-A3FD-29DC61825B77.jpeg" alt="" width="1082" height="1156" /></a></p>
<p>She said youngsters are being forced to skip school and protest because adults are not addressing climate issues quickly enough.</p>
<p>Greta told the European Economic and Social Committee plenary session that “we are school striking because we have done our homework” on the dangers facing the Earth.</p>

<p>The teenager has become her generation’s voice on climate change after inspiring students around the world to go on strike to express their anger and angst over global warming.</p>
<p>Also at the conference was EU Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker, who said he was “glad to see that young people are taking to the streets for climate change”.</p>

<p>“It can in fact bring change,” Mr Juncker said, notwithstanding the fact that Greta had chided his class of politicians for negligence in the face of such challenges.</p>
<p>Now Greta wants the adults to move immediately.</p>
<p>“There is simply not enough time to wait for us to grow up and become the ones in charge,” she said.</p>
<p>The march itself amid wintry sunshine gathered some 7,500 protesters in Brussels.</p>
<p>Thousands more were marching in large provincial cities.</p>
