LONDON — Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg has taken the world by storm. “You think she’s not ordinary now because she’s special, and she’s very famous, and all these things. Trump has questioned climate science and is pulling the United States out of the 2015 Paris Agreement on global warming. Thunberg came to world attention when she began a grassroots campaign aged 15 by skipping school every Friday to demonstrate outside the Swedish parliament. I hope I don’t have to be a climate activist any more,” she said on Monday, adding she was looking forward to returning to school in August.
