“We’re totally focused on other things,” Thunberg told Reuters.

Politicians and the media have “choose not to convey that so many of the crises we face now are very closely related to it”.

“Therefore people naturally only focus on things that are right in front of them instead of really focusing on the bigger holistic picture,” he noted.

Politicians treat climate as a distant problem, he continued.

“Let’s just take Pakistan now as an example, a very clear example,” completed.

Record monsoon rainfall and melting glaciers in northern Pakistan caused floods that affected 33 million people and killed at least 1,290, including 453 children.
