‘I don’t want to die’: 7-year-olds left terrified after Greta Thunberg presentation
TORONTO, Ontario, Canada, December 19, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) ― Schoolchildren were left in terror for their lives after watching an impassioned speech by teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg.
After returning home from school on October 4, eight-year-old Joylaea Blazevic of Toronto told her mother that they had only eight years left to live. Joylaea and her seven-and-eight-year-old classmates had watched a video of Thunberg’sfamous UN Climate Action Summit speech in the library of Elmbank Junior Middle Academy that day.
Joyalea’s mother, Lejla Blazevic, told Canada’s National Post that the presentation had confused and scared the little girl and her friends.
“She’s like, ‘Mommy, they said that we’re going to die in eight years,’” Blazevic recalled.
“They were terrified with the information.”
Joylaea also told her mother that one of her classmates shouted, “I don’t want to die,” which led to similar cries among the children.
After Greta’s speech, the children were shown a video of a “carbon clock” counting down from eight years: “the estimated amount of time it will take to emit enough carbon to warm the world by 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change,” the National Post reported.
