Climate activist Greta Thunberg is not phased by criticism she receives from world leaders and presidents.

During an appearance on “The View” Monday, co-host Joy Behar asked Thunberg if she is ever intimidated by the criticism she receives and what gave her “the courage to do this.”

Thunberg replied, “It’s a very strange situation to be in. It’s not everyone who has that kind of platform and when these world leaders, like presidents, when they literally mock and harass you online, it’s very entertaining to be honest because it really means that we are annoying them.”

She added, “That’s the proof that we are doing something good, that we are doing something that has an impact.”

Former President Donald Trump mocked Thunberg on Twitter in 2019 after Time decided to name her “Person of the Year,” as IJR previously reported.

“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!” Trump tweeted.

Then-Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden took to Twitter to defend Thunberg, “What kind of president bullies a teenager? [Donald Trump], you could learn a few things from Greta on what it means to be a leader.”

Thunberg fired back at Trump by poking fun at him after he called on states to stop vote counts in November of 2020.

“So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!” Thunberg tweeted.

The climate activist has been tough on Biden and other politicians for what she believes is an inadequate response to climate change.

During an interview with MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan in March, Thunberg said the Biden administration needs to “basically just treat the climate crisis like a crisis.”

She added, “They have said themselves that this is an existential threat, and they better treat it accordingly, which they are not. They are just treating the climate crisis as it was a political topic among other topics.”

During the House Oversight Environment Subcommittee hearing in April, she asked politicians, “How long do you honestly believe that people in power like you will get away with it? How long do you think you can continue to ignore the climate crisis, the global aspect of equity, and historic emissions, without being held accountable?”

She continued, “You get away with it now, but sooner or later people are going to realize what you have been doing all this time.”
