Greta Thunberg's tweet about riding on the floor of a train didn't sit well with German railway company Deutsche Bahn, which said she had a seat in first class.

The 16-year-old -- who was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year this week and challenged delegates at the UN's COP25 summit for their inaction on the climate crisis -- was on her way home to Sweden when she shared a photo of her sitting aboard a Deutsche Bahn train, surrounded by bags. "Traveling on overcrowded trains through Germany," the climate activist wrote."And I'm finally on my way home!"Traveling on overcrowded trains through Germany.

— Greta Thunberg December 14, 2019 Some Twitter users responded to Thunberg by criticizing the company, which has had a reputation for delays and other performance issues in recent years.

Savanna30536386 Merci

she did her 'thing' a little while back in US an Can, why is she back..because this is an easy venue for her group to continue their:stuff:, we have had enough..goodbye, cnn stop showing her

🖕🖕🖕screw them for calling her a liar😤😤😤😤

It did not 'sit' well because she LIED...but I guess it's acceptable to if a lie is told by one of its own.

Don’t believe her.

The time it took for her to go from a perceived serious activist to a cocktail party joke could have been clocked with an egg timer.

So..... What she is saying is that I should drive to enable those who must take the train to have more space?

Trains pollute

Because it was a fucking lie

What a FRAUD!!

Greta wh🤮 ?

who gives a shit

Boo hoo. She thinks that she is a celebrity and that she should have a seat to herself. By the way how do we know that she didn’t stage the picture. For someone who claims she is for the environment she sure is complaining a lot that people are using public transportation .

Shouldn't you be in school GT. Where are your parents. 📚📚

That because she was not telling the truth. And she got called out for it.

😅😅😅😅😅

A climate activist that howls for people to use mass transportation instead of individual autos complains about the transportation they demand others to use.... hypocrites!

If they want that type of tweet they have to pay for it.

Anyone who responds to this little kid is a baby themselves, yes that includes Trump.....

This girl is being abused by her parents but liberal Democrats and liberal media shameless... But the liberal Democrats in America do abused children

Hahaha!

Greta got caught LYING!

There is something wrong with this young person and whoever is manipulating her should be criminally charged

You got your 15 minutes of fame and now the Media is tiring. When the Media tires of you, it's time to go back to school. OkBoomer

Who pays for her trips around the world? Is she still in school or not? How many people travel with her & who pays them? From whom does she get her information? Does she write her own speeches? If not, who does? Do she & her parents receive compensation? If so, from whom

How dare folks advocate for sustainable energy.

The says all I need to know about her and any cause she supports.

CNN-Your reporting here is not complete. Please provide the entire story ... 👇👇👇 Check out GretaThunberg’s Tweet:

Smell that Greta? That's smoke from the burning bridges behind you.

GretaThunberg I suggest, to protect yourself from future twitter attacks, you be very explicit with your tweets. Many people will not give you the benefit of the doubt. They will try to discount you at every turn.

She had a firstclass seat but made fake piture on the floor ... hahaha

Oh, Give This Kid a Break!! She spoke the truth-looks like Deutsche Bahn needs to make improvements!! 💚💚🌎💚💚

She is a Puppet controlled child abuse from a younger age. Bigger Crimes here Dig CNN. Earn some respect if you can.

Mentirosa

Oh goodie. Another negative shade story about Greta. Machine is working.

This kid has proven that she loves to lie and cause trouble! Person of the year? That’s a joke!

Her 15 minutes of fame are almost up

Because she lied.

She’s quite an annoying child. How long before NetFlix airs her story and pays her millions?

Stay out of grownup business. Go and play..go be a child!

Because she LIED AGAIN!! LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Good. How about them apples Ms. G? This time it wasn’t American people giving her crap. Perhaps she should realize her b.s. is rubbing everybdy the wrong way. Her parents are to blame for her conduct.

Greta has certainly been a big influence on American politics. President Greta?

This child is unnerving these old greedy white men.

Perhaps Greta expected the star treatment she got used to for a short period of time

Wonder how much she and her entourage contribute towards polluting the planet? Hypocrites!

This is the root of the whole issue. She is abusing her popularity to create opinions that aren't true. She has never been on an overcrowded train, apparently, there wouldn't be any space to sit on the floor! Yet the fact she traveled first class instead is just the icing.

The Deutsche Bahn has been in the past years criticized by the people here in Germany for its overcrowded trains. That was the end of the stick for them but the problem continues.

Who gives a shit!

Such a hypocrite....What a shame ....She is so young but already corrupted.

It made for a good photo op.

This littel sick girl is AWOL! She should disappear!

For fuck sake!! Does It really matter if she sat on the floor for a while Even if she got a seat on first class? Greta Thunberg über alles!!

Diesel trains.

Ok before make fun of her read the article.. It’s very common not having a seat when your original train is cancelled and you have to take a different train even though you have a ticket. First class on DB is not even that expensive.. plus in her tweet she wasn’t complaining

Is Europe! Everywhere you go is crowded! Is densely populated and expensive and uncomfortable! Is Europe! I rather go to see Nature and visit countries full of natural beauty and not so populated!

'Time Magazine's Person of The Year a Lying, Petulant Child'. Fixed it for you because y'all need all the help you can get.

Tough - she ought to stay at home playing with her dolls - she'd be a lo less of a nuisance.

When you have a voice and a large audience, it’s probably wise to be careful on how you use it. Greta needs to be told the story about the boy who cried wolf. So far, she has learned some bad habits from American Democrats. All their habits will do, is get you in trouble.

This greta is a joke

Her PR person is well worth the money she is paying him.

She's the biggest publicity stunt this decade.

Codn’t care less about this story and the little brat who is being abused by her parents and adult handlers, using her as a political prop & puppet. Shameful GoBackToSchool

She is going a bit far lol! Be humble and take it easy greta

She’s a spoilt attention seeking brat, with temper and tantrum issues! She’s rude

Sorry Greta... you keep getting pulled into the light because you are so fantastically famous all over the world. I liked the photo because it was very artistic and telling of your past week.

Socialist and climate activist allways lies.

She is a farce.

Sniffs of the Corbyn affair!

C'mon tell the truth..... she had first class seats and tried a PR stunt that failed.

how dare you-German railway!

Making waves wherever she goes. Put this child back in school. Stop with the fake climate/globalist agenda. This isn't the first time nor will it be the last time CNN and the media use children to push their propaganda. The sky is falling stories have been around forever.

She is a bit 'out there' You don't even try now, do you CNN? ONLY reason you're even covering her is due to President Trump. Don't you get tired of having such a fixation? Sad what you're forcing real journalists to do to their careers! A whole gen of reporters corrupted.

Deutsche Bahn has a lot of problems, including late and cancelled trains, poor connections, crowded dirty trains and the tickets are expensive, more expensive than driving in many cases.

Hopefully it was an electric train she road

Give it a rest.

merry xmas

The photo taken was faked also. Her sitting on the platform with bags. Train staff also said she was helped and given a first class seat.

Gretas 15 minutes R up! Send her home to hang with friends and play a sport!

Saying the truth can have 2 effects: it either goes unnoticed or it will get under one's skin

She gave up her first class seat?

“I didn’t mean to suggest I didn’t actually have a first class seat”. Lmao!!Gretta, line them up against the wall.

You can not give someone this age so much power, she does not have the knowledge and experience to deal

Little liar.

We had our train cancelled in Germany and only found out about it when we returned to the original station.

Well it was bullshit that’s why.

Little brat, go home and study real life events!

she must back school study

Yeah. Lies don’t sit well with anyone. Oh, except

Greta Thunberg's entire puppet show doesn't sit well with people who can think for themselves. This is the shameless exploitation of a child by ANTIFA-supporting, communist parents and a cowardly complicit media.

Playing the victim again!She should go and travel in Indian trains or in over crowded and unsafe public buses y Latin America... poor child, has to wait for a first class seat!

I back GretaThunberg 100%. Some will slander her in the comments, but they won't change their minds about her no matter what.

Somebody’s ego is getting a little too large. Time to step it back.

Good. Glad they called her out on her BS!

She needs to go back to school. Awful!

If only the World was adult enough to NOT put a 16 year old on the world stage. This is madness. Greta is a child. So are all the adults who worship her.

I'm sure they're not implying her very generous tweets were wrong?

So?

Wow she was caught in a lie...imagine my shock!

here we go again with people missing the point. fine she had a seat in the 1st class because she is GRETA. point is the train was crowded and some people did not have seats. she’s fighting for the common man on the street and not those who get seats coz of their NAME or status!

Look at it this way, at least she didn’t talk about putting world leaders “against the wall”. Oh, wait......

Accused railway company for failing to accommodate a royal carriage for Greta time share journeys, some say climate education change around the world, we have seen stars with her eyes on a journey to the unknown lost in time and space of illusions by those who put her their,

So What Lady Thunberg

Why aren’t you putting Greta the monster on blast?

As we slip into environmental oblivion writing process stories.

Because it was a lie, or an act, just like her “how dare you” performance. GIGANTIC YAAAAAWWWWN!

这货天天只会嘴炮环保的,她就不能干点实事吗

Inside Gretas Tesla looks like a dumping ground for single use plastic How dare you Greta

🤔 a fake picture... =🤦🏻‍♀️Lies

Poor Greta!!

Greta making friends everywhere she goes

She Claims to have Asperger's? People with that Do NOT LIE like this! So what does she Really have? She Appears to be Infected with Progressivism with ALL the Garbage she's doing! Progressivism=Mental Disorder!

She's a brat.

The sweet little darling needs to fire her speech writers.

She is the reason why I stopped recycling.

What a joke. Why do we need to care what a little girl does and doesn't do?

Stelter Will look into their old tweets

Deutsche Bahn just ruined her childhood

Fraud.

Yea because she had first class seats and did this photo op instead

Jesus are people ever gonna stop looking for excuses to bash this young woman.. She never said there was a problem! she is just a girl who sat on a floor , she was comfortable. WTF

I wish her parents and the political Left would just let this kid be a kid. Stop using her.

Well obviously she was being manipulative to have a pic taken not in fist class but tue fact still remains if u cant afford first class theres not enough room.

people need to realize..she is being coached and guided

So concerned about climate change she should have walked.

If she is so great, let her country make her as CEO of swedish environmental research institute. What is this bull crap news of mentally ill swedish girl.

International news, ladies and gentlemen.

Mini pshyco

Fake girl !

A non-story

*laugh in tokyo metro train*

She's not complaining. She accepts the situation. Stop reading your own bias into everything she posts

She is another typical liar as CNN!!!!

We all know she’s a fraud, so this isn’t surprising

Another day, another terrible CNN headline. Read the article folks.

Well, that's because she lied. Nobody liked a liar or a hypocrite, thats why cnnbrk is tanking. MAGA KAG2020LandslideVictory

Seriously? Y’all need to get off the tRump train.

She's a pathological liar! Everyone can see that

There must be something wrong with her. Backed by whom, then?

She wants to line up politicians against a wall. Wow. She is a nut.

She actually went 1st class lmao 🤣
