Greta Thunberg has accused world leaders of taking selfies with her just to “look good,” name-dropping German Chancellor Angela Merkel as one of them.
The 17-year-old climate activist made the comments during a series about her campaigning for Swedish radio, an English text of which was made available for the BBC.
Thunberg sailed across the Atlantic to address a special UN Climate Change Summit in New York last September, when she passionately told world leaders: “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words … How dare you!”
