The 16-year-old Swedish activist expressed disappointment in world leaders for their lack of substantial plans and empty promises at a large rally in Montreal. She vowed to continue striking and marching until they start listening to the concerns of young people. Despite being mocked by Trump and criticized by Canadian Member of Parliament Maxime Bernier, Thunberg believes that those who try to silence them are threatened by their message. "We should view that as a compliment," she said. The climate strikes she sparked began in Asia on Friday and then moved on to Europe, following similar strikes the previous week. In New Zealand, tens of thousands of students initiated the movement. In Seoul, South Korea, around 500 students called for increased government efforts to combat climate change. They marched towards the Blue House after a protest downtown, where they criticized the government's lack of action. In the Netherlands, thousands of children skipped school to participate in a global climate strike, questioning their leaders with the words "how dare you?" as they blocked traffic. Matthew McMillan, a 22-year-old mechanical engineering student at Concordia University in Montreal, referenced Greta Thunberg's speech at the United Nations by holding a "Make America Greta Again" poster at a protest. He believed it was a crucial event for their generation. Nine-year-old Xavier Damien Tremblay and his family also participated in the protest, holding placards and chanting "protect the planet" because they felt it was essential to safeguard the Earth. Trudeau meets with Thunberg in Canada ahead of federal election, discussing the need for more action on climate change. Thunberg urges politicians, including Trudeau, to listen to and act on scientific evidence. Trudeau is vowing to take further action on climate change, but he is also facing criticism for his choice to purchase and enlarge a significant oil pipeline in western Canada. During one of Trudeau's campaign events, a man shouted, "You are the problem! Climate criminal!" and was removed by police. At a Montreal protest that the prime minister attended, another man attempted to throw eggs at him and was apprehended by police. Video footage showed Trudeau comforting his son, who appeared scared and was crying after an incident. Trudeau mentioned having a positive discussion with Thunberg about the urgent need to take more action. Leaders in the aviation industry are meeting in Montreal to discuss ways to reduce the sector's impact on climate change. Commercial flights currently contribute 2.5% of carbon emissions, and with passenger numbers expected to double by 2037, experts warn that emissions will increase unless more is done. ICAO expressed support for the recent climate march, stating that greater action and innovation are necessary to address the environmental impacts of aviation in both the short and long term.
