Trump, who has repeatedly expressed scepticism about climate change, was set to give the first keynote address of Davos 2020 on Tuesday morning, on the same day as his impeachment trial opens at the Senate in Washington. Speaking calmly and with a wry smile, Thunberg acknowledged that her campaign, which began with school strikes, had attracted huge attention without yet achieving change.“I am not the person who should complain about not being heard,” she said to appreciative laughter. “I am being heard all the time. But the science and the voice of the young people are not at the centre of the conversation,” she added.
When Trump and his entourage walked through UN headquarters last year at the annual General Assembly, a photo of the teenager staring in apparent fury at the president from the sidelines went viral.
