 The activist blasted world leaders and politicians for their lack of action regarding climate change. "How dare you," she exclaimed. "I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean, yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?"

She has risen to unprecedented levels of fame...

 And her unwavering commitment to saving our planet continues to inspire people to live more sustainably every day.

 Instead, calling it "a very contentious matter of public debate, and I will not do that, I will not express a view on a matter of public policy, especially one that is politically controversial," when questioned by Kamala Harris, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

So, naturally, Thunberg had something to say about her comments.
