Summary
Our house is on fire is a speech delivered by Ms. Greta Thunberg at the world economic forum in Davos, Switzerland in 2019 . In her speech, Greta says that our planet is suffering so much due to the human activity . We humans in the name of achieving success and changing the face of the world with technological advancement , we forgot to think what might happen to our planet if we manipulate it so badly . We forgot to think about the consequences that we might face if we pollute our earth , air and water . We only thought about making our present better but we made it by destroying our nature . Now we are in the condition that if we don't do anything to change the nature , in few years , we won't be able to undo our mistakes .

Global warming , emissions of greenhouse gases are some of the big problems that the world is currently facing . Politicians have not done anything about this serious issue and media has failed to create broad public awareness .
But we haven't failed completely. There is still time to turn everything around . We can still fix this . The main solution to the current problem is that we have to stop our emissions of greenhouse gases . People need to be made aware of these things . Then only together we can make change.
At last Greta appeals to all the youth that she wants them to panic and feel fear and she wants them to act as if our house is on fire .
