'It's insane that a 16-year-old has to cross the Atlantic Ocean to make a stand. This, of course, is not something that I want everyone to do,' said Thunberg.
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 Wednesday.
Thunberg poked fun at the president too by saying she was"pretty sure" windmills don't cause cancer, in reference to a comment Trump made at a Republican fundraising event in April. She was quickly joined by other students around the world, as word of her strike spread through the media, and the"Fridays for future" movement was born.
A few hundred well-wishers and activists clapped and chanted"Greta, Greta, Greta" as she completed her 3,000-nautical-mile trip under overcast skies. Thunberg endured rough seas and cramped conditions but said she never felt seasick once. She ate freeze-dried food and used a bucket as a toilet.
