Greta Thunberg Blasts World Leaders’ Inaction On Climate Change | NBC News
“I feel strange when I get applauded by people in power,” the Nobel Peace Prize nominee said, “because it's obvious that it's them I'm criticizing.”
Climate activist Greta Thunberg said that adults should stop making young people "angry" over global warming.
Ms Thunberg was speaking after her arrival in Lisbon, Portugal, after a two-weeks-plus journey across the Atlantic from her starting point in Virginia, US.
"People are underestimating the force of angry kids," she told reporters.
The 16-year-old is on her way to the COP25 climate summit in Madrid.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived in Madrid Friday to join thousands of other young people in a march to demand world leaders take real action against climate change.
After making it through a swarm of media cameras and microphones at the Spanish capital's northern train station, the Swedish teen posted an ironic tweet saying that she had “successfully managed to sneak into Madrid.”
"I don’t think anyone saw me...," she added. “Anyway it’s great to be in Spain!"
Madrid is hosting two-week, United Nations-sponsored talks aimed at streamlining the rules on global carbon markets and agreeing on how poor countries should be compensated for destruction largely caused by emissions from rich nations.
The talks came as scientific evidence mounts about disasters that could ensue from further global warming, including a study commissioned by 14 seafaring nations due to be published Friday predicting that unchecked climate change could devastate fishery industries and coral reef tourism.
