Russian President’s Attack on Greta 

Chairing a session at the energy forum in Moscow President Vladimir Putin brought up Greta Thunberg’s speech at UNGA in New York. He said that the 16-year-old was “poorly informed” and he did not "share the common excitement" about her speech. He said, “No one has explained to Greta that the modern world is complex and different and … people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same wealth level as in Sweden. I’m sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl. But adults must do everything not to bring teenagers and children into some extreme situations.”
