Sweden's politicians are ignoring the climate crisis in the run-up to the election on Sept 11 and treating it as if it were just a problem rather than a life-or-death threat, activist Greta Thunberg said. Thunberg, whose Friday protests outside Sweden's parliament years ago turned into a global youth movement demanding action on climate change, said the issue had been "pretty much non-existent," during the campaign. She said politicians were treating the climate as a distant problem. "Just take Pakistan now, as an example, a very clear example," she said.
