President Donald Trump said teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg should save her anger for other countries in the world that were worse polluters than the United States.
The president spoke about Thunberg during a press conference at Davos before he left Switzerland to return to the United States.
He said the United States was experiencing great environmental numbers while other countries were worse polluters of the air and putting tons of garbage in the Pacific ocean.
“I think Greta has to start working on those other countries,” Trump said.

“Pretty much nothing has been done,” Thunberg lamented at a World Economic Forum event on climate change.
“Since last summer, I have been repeating these numbers over and over again in almost every speech, but honestly, I have not once seen any media outlet or person in power communicate this or what it means,” she added.
Trump told reporters he would have loved to see Thunberg’s speech but missed it.
“How old is she?” Trump asked. “Seventeen? Oh, that’s good, she beat me out on TIME magazine.”
Thunberg was named Person of the Year by TIME magazine in 2019.

Those t who think CO2 is a Pollutant are either stupid or read way too much junk mail from the Greens
Stop with the vernacular – worst-polluting.
CO2 is NOT pollution – stop falling into the alarmist/climate derangement syndrome trap
Greenpeace should go down to Equador and object to them using their rivers as a Garbage Dump
Great and her handlers should go to China and speak out strongly and loudly, shouting “How dare you, Chairman Xi Jinping. That will show them!
Exactly. That’s why China got a free pass in the Paris Accord. The IPCC didn’t want to lose face wrestling with a dictatorship, and in the sleazy transaction they gained an ally.
Why is that Trump is the only leader on the Planet with a brain? Why can’t people see that?
The other leaders at Davos must get it by now. Grow your economy, grow the middle class, clean air and clean water. The taxes will flow. Don’t throw a wet blanket like the carbon tax on progress.
They most probably know it by now. They are looking for a way out of the mess they created.. Greta will be their victim.
China and India are the two most Polluting Nations on Earth but Eqaudor dumps its litter into the Rivers where it gets washed out to sea and effects the Sea Birds and other Marine Animals think about all those disposible lighters their using before you point fingers at America
She and her minders can’t make as much money from the worst polluters, who need to use lots of cheap energy to become developed, and create modern developed country levels of waste management, and will tell here take a hike, as we should.. Thunberg Inc are following the Al Gore snake oil salesman approach to get on the get rich wagon of promoting climate change measures in rich developed countries they can cream money off in some way, that don’t do what they claim, and the carbon trading rackets that support her work. Just another climate change protection racket that will change nothing, very expensively.
