Greta Thunberg says meeting with Trump ‘would be a waste of time’ by stableford
Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg says she wouldn’t want to meet with President Trump even if given the opportunity.
Thunberg was in Los Angeles Friday for a protest rally by students opposed to new fossil-fuel production. She has drawn the ire of Trump, whose administration rolled back Obama-era environmental protections and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accord. The president has frequently dismissed dire warnings from climate scientists, and in a 2012 tweet claimed “the concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.
“This is all wrong,” Thunberg said in her speech. “I shouldn’t be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you come to us young people for hope. How dare you.”“She seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future,” Trump wrote. “So nice to see!”
She responded similarly to criticism from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who suggested Thunberg doesn’t understand complexities of “the modern world” and accused her parents of exploiting her.
