'Ecological breakdown': Greta Thunberg and youth activists rally as wildfires burn

The Swedish climate activist joined more than 1,000 people for an afternoon of youth-led climate action in Los Angeles

Paradise is not what it used to be, as Greta Thunberg witnessed earlier this week. Today the town with a lovely name is best known for the apocalyptic fire that ripped through it last year, decimating nearly every home and killing 86 people.

This week California is once more in flames as fires rage in the north and south - a point that was not lost on the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist who spoke at a rally in Los Angeles on Friday.
