might be her most poignant feat yet. Thunberg spent 15 days crossing the Atlantic Ocean on a zero-emissions yacht to attend the UN climate summits in America. She finally sailed into New York on Wednesday — with some powerful words for President Donald Trump.“Our war on nature must end,” Thunberg told reporters shortly after arriving at her destination. “I want to thank everyone who is involved in this climate fight, because this is a fight across borders, across continents.
