Must Watch: Greta Thunberg Speaks Truth to Power

Today Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate activist, delivered an emotionally raw speech at the United Nations Climate Summit. In a historic four-minute address, she castigated world leaders for offering incremental commitments to address a crisis that could have catastrophic consequences for her generation.

Transportation is the largest source of carbon emissions in the United States, according to the EPA.
