'It's amazing how much space the press gives this kind of pirralha,' Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told reporters, referring to Thunberg.

Later, the Swedish environmental activist changed her Twitter bio to say,"A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."

Thunberg became a symbol for challenging climate change after she launched the"Fridays for Future" movement in 2018. The movement encouraged students to skip school to demand action on climate change from government leaders. On September 20, the young activist led the largest climate strike in history, which included an estimated 4 million people across 163 countries.

Swedish environment activist Greta Thunberg looks on during a press conference ‘with Fridays For Future movement’ at the COP25 Climate Conference on December 09, 2019 in Madrid, Spain. The COP25 conference brings together world leaders, climate activists, NGOs, indigenous people and others for two weeks in an effort to focus global policy makers on concrete steps for heading off a further rise in global temperatures.

Thunberg tweeted over the weekend that"indigenous people are being literally murdered for trying to protect the forrest from illegal deforestation. Over and over again. It is shameful that the world remains silent about this." She also linked to a news report about the murder of two indigenous people in Brazil's Maranhao state. After the killings, Brazil's former environmental minister Marina Silva tweeted that"this Amazon bloodbath demands a strong and swift response from Brazilian authorities."

Barak Obama “The man who dropped more than 100,000 bombs on 8 different countries, murdering and displacing millions of innocents, wants to lecture us about “kindness and compassion” and “looking out for others”. - Anise Naser

why do adults want to attack a young girl? does it make them feel big? why is it that some defend a freedom of speech, but do everything they can to stifle it? this young girl is innocent, but people have to slime her. they would find fault in Christ.

Sad little girl...
