Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg is directly calling out world leaders for their inaction around climate change.

In an opinion piece published in the Los Angeles Times, Thunberg wrote that world leaders should be dedicating funds to "the best available solutions, adaptations, and restorations" in the fight against an impending climate crisis, but that "the money seems to be going elsewhere."

"The often-used argument that 'we don’t have enough money' has been disproven so many times," Thunberg said. "According to the International Monetary Fund, the production and burning of coal, oil and fossil gas was subsidized by $5.9 trillion in 2020 alone. That is $11 million every minute, earmarked for planetary destruction."

Thunberg wrote that despite "historic global recovery plans" during the outbreak of the Covid-19 virus, which were said to be “our last chance to avert a climate disaster,” only 2 percent of the funds went into green energy.

"They did not just get it slightly wrong — our leaders completely failed. And they continue to fail; despite all the beautiful words and pledges, they are not moving in the right direction," she stated. "In fact, we are still expanding fossil fuel infrastructure all over the world. In many cases, we are even speeding up the process.

Thunberg noted that China is set to build 43 new coal power plants, yet they already have 1,000 in operation. The Untied States has also expanded approvals for companies to drill for oil and fossil fuels to their highest level since the presidency of George W. Bush.

To keep global temperatures from rising, the Paris Climate Accords created an agreement between nations to curtail emissions. In the years since, reports show that the world is "nowhere near" their target, which Thunberg has criticized previously.

"We are two years — one fifth of the way — into what is called 'the decisive decade.' For even a small chance of staying in line with the 1.5 degrees Celsius target, our emissions must be in an unprecedented decline," she explained. "But instead, in 2021, we saw the second-biggest emissions rise ever recorded. And it keeps increasing."

The activist said that "money is still very much at the heart of the problem," but that it is not the only solution.

Thunberg wrote: "We cannot just buy, invest or build our way out of the climate and environmental crisis."
