Teen climate activist, Greta Thunberg attended the 50th World Economic Forum in Davos on January 21 where her answer to 'haters' won applause. When the 17-year-old was asked how she deals with haters, she replied saying there are some things she has to say which is more important for the world to know rather than 'how I deal with my haters'. Then as the audience cheered for her, Thunberg, read out a report by IPCC which came out in 2018, and stressed on the fact how the 'world is still on fire'. Thunberg not only received applause at the meet, but she was also hailed by netizens on Twitter.
Swedish teenager said, “I would like to say something that I think people need to know more than how I deal with haters. Global emissions of CO2 have not been reduced and that is what we are trying to achieve.”

.@GretaThunberg great job breaking out of the format of that #WEF2020 panel "I have something more important to talk about than how I deal with haters". It's not all hunky-dory just yet, change so far is minimal. The sleepwalking has to finish. All systems go on #ClimateEmergency https://t.co/RYkAvCqxaJ

Well done Greta. As a humble teacher I can assure you that your messages about the climate emergency facing our planet are getting through to the young generation. EVERYONE I teach has heard of you and admires your stance. Ignore the pathetic haters and keep campaigning!

By haters you mean people who don’t necessarily agree. How is that “haters”?
