Greta Thunberg Charged For Refusing Police Orders At Climate Protest

Greta Thunberg has been charged with disobeying police for refusing to leave a protest blocking oil tankers in Malmö, Sweden.
Thunberg faces potential fines and up to six months in jail for the charges which stem from a six-day protest she joined with other activists.
Thunberg was previously detained while protesting a coal mine expansion in Germany earlier this year.
The charges are the latest in Thunberg's long history of activism against climate change and the societal factors contributing to global warming.
Thunberg's protest and charges have brought renewed attention to her calls for governments and politicians to take swifter, more comprehensive action against climate change.
