MADRID - Greeted by a group of singing young activists and the massed ranks of the world's media, Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg arrived at the U.N. climate summit in Madrid on Friday, having taken a catamaran, train and electric car to reach the venue.

She harangued delegates at the last U.N. climate event in September, demanding:"How dare you?" and declaring,"You have stolen my dreams." Arriving in a small electric car at the conference venue, a series of hangar-like halls near Madrid's international airport, Thunberg met with a group of young climate activists, who held hands as they sang a chorus of"Fight for Climate Justice".

Thunberg was again mobbed by a crowd of reporters but did not speak as she left the train, instead tweeting later:"I successfully managed to sneak into Madrid this morning! I don't think anyone saw me ... Anyway it's great to be in Spain!"
