"Activist Thunberg Channels Youth Fury To U.N. Climate Summit"

"LISBON/MADRID - Teen activist Greta Thunberg reached Europe on Tuesday after a 21-day catamaran dash across the Atlantic for a United Nations summit where she will invoke the fury of global youth at politicians’ foot-dragging over climate change.

“People are underestimating the force of angry kids,” the Swede told a crowd of reporters and supporters as she disembarked from a white catamaran, La Vagabonde, in Portugal.

“They’re angry and frustrated.”"

Victoria Waldersee and Antonio Denti report for Reuters December 3, 2019.
