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.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg poses for media as she arrives for a news conference in Davos, Switzerland, Friday, Jan. 24, 2020. The 50th annual meeting of the forum is taking place in Davos from Jan. 21 until Jan. 24, 2020 DAVOS, 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 favour 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.

Who is paying her bills this kid is been used .She needs to shut up as she has no clue

Go to school girl

She is more mature then all these people

Who is this

Why isn’t this girl never interviewed by the msm? She gives her staged comments and then hides behind her handlers. Who is backing her?

CTV Antifa supporter

Always listen to 16-year-olds. They are always right. Just ask them.

Why are Greta's comments (and comments by others in the environmental groups) always taken at face value and rarely critically questioned by the media?

Want to play with the big kids the learn to do so and stop sucking your thumb when you don’t get your way

Who is this?

Is that a face that would capture a young man's heart? Just asking!

Glad to see she gives the source the attention he deserves!

She didn't understand a word of it

It wasn't mockery; he was giving advice.

Well Steve Mnuchin called it right, a young uneducated child trying to parrot her adult handlers. As Steve said maybe get a degree in economic or something so at least you have a clue what your talking about.

“The Misogyny of Climate Deniers”

Agenda 21 time again...

Keep going kids. These dinosaurs will be dead when the world goes belly up. I would encourage my children to be engaged in the fight for their planet. As a parent of young children, am so proud of you kids. It’s your future. Preserve your only home. If it’s possible.

You just posted this like an hour ago

Cee U Next Thursday

How dare you mock me!

Enough with that miserable mug ! Someone buy her some Barbies and enroll her in school already !!!

Media and family wants to put her in the spotlight but doesn’t want people to question or criticize her .

The ignorant seldom recognize their own ignorance.

That's okay. I've brushed away her petulant tantrums, and incessant demands for obedience. They had no effect on me either.

Poor child, you'd think there were adults in Canada's newsrooms who'd think twice about exploiting her. But no, ours are criminally egregious, the worst you can find on the planet. Both Trump *and* weather deranged.

Is her 15 minutes almost up

Don't take their guff and stick to your guns

That is because she is more mature then the US president and his people.

Does she have the intellect to realize what mockery even is ? lol

Atta girl..... you don’t need any rea education, special skills, world experience or intelligence to be a world leader. Look at the basic imbecile Canada elected twice....

Wow

Munchin is begging her to go to college so she can explain Economics to him.

ClimateChangeHoax

Greta thunberg dad brushes off mockery. Fixed it for you.

i don't know why she feels she should be hob knobbing with the world's leaders.. what purpose she has there.. maybe to give them an evil eye and point her finger at them.. and threaten them.. greta.. go and finish high school.

The Antifa girl...and CTV CANADA'S BIGGEST EMBARRASSMENT, just loves her and her Antifa parents...

This young lady has more courage and conviction than that physically repulsive Mnuchin could ever dream of possessing.

you mean her dad

She does what she is told to do. That’s all. Her programmers told her to do this.

From the picture behind it seems she is on an airplane, isn’t she supposed to be travelling on a donkey? And save the climate

hey any adults out there let their children tell them what to do? didnt think so

Should’ve go to school like any other kid her age. media is giving her too much attention .

When they go LOW..She goes high!!!

SUCH STUNNING; SUCH BRAVE!!
