Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has brushed off criticism and mockery from the U.S. Treasury chief, saying his comments have “of course no effect” on her and fellow campaigners.

News headlines today: Jan. 24, 2020DAVOS, Switzerland -- Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has brushed off criticism and mockery from the U.S. Treasury chief, saying Friday his comments have “of course no effect” on her and fellow campaigners.

On Friday, Thunberg, who has been battling the flu this week, kept her lucidity and apologized for her “low energy” - a term Trump has often used to mock rivals - as she spoke out again in favor of science and facts, and set off on yet another “Fridays for Future” march through snowy Davos streets. “Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I’m confused,” he said. Then, following a brief pause, he said it was ‘‘a joke.”

“We cannot care about those kinds of things,” said the Swede, who was selected as Time’s Person of the Year for 2019.

It's telling that Mnuchin felt the need to address a teenage activist at all, much less on the world stage. Whether you agree w her or not, one thing is certain, she's got U.S. leaders spooked. How many 16 yr old can put that on their resume?

He and all of her detractors are wasting their time. She is locked in and everything else is background noise.

HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT BS

Why doesn’t she try her lectures on the greatest polluting nations on earth...China and Russia. Before lecturing the U. S.

Well I think these kids should take a good look at with algor pushed all these years that never happened and they shouldn't make the same mistake

She’s young and smart enough to know anyone in this administration can’t speak on their own they must Have permission

Hahahahaha
