NEW YORK: Teenage climate campaigner Greta Thunberg said the"war on nature must end" and called on Donald Trump to listen to science after she sailed into New York on a zero-emissions yacht on Wednesday .
Thunberg, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at the age of 12, began sitting outside the Swedish parliament in August 2018 to get members to act on climate change. The Swede was offered a ride on the Malizia II racing yacht skippered by Pierre Casiraghi, the son of Monaco's Princess Caroline, and German round-the-world sailor Boris Herrmann.Her voyage sparked controversy after a spokesman for co-skipper Herrmann told Berlin newspaper TAZ that several people would fly into New York to help take the yacht back to Europe.
The United Nations sent a flotilla of 17 sailboats, one for each of its sustainable development goals for 2030, to welcome her.
