Thunberg travelled to NewYork in September 2019 to address a UN climate conference.
Because of the environmental impact, she refused to fly, and made her way on a racing yacht, in a journey which lasted for two weeks.
Many people around the globe joined her in a climate strike, underlining the scale of her influence and power.
While addressing the conference, she blasted the politicians for depending on young people for solutions to climate change.
She raised a question of how dare and bold you people are.

Then, Greta expressed her anger by remarking that for each and everything (for hope) politicians will always come to the young teenagers.

It will affect all children at present and even in the future.
But downtrodden groups will suffer much.
