News headlines today: Jan. 24, 2020DAVOS, Switzerland -- Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has brushed off criticism and mockery from the U.S. Treasury chief, saying Friday his comments have “of course no effect” on her and fellow campaigners.
On Friday, Thunberg, who has been battling the flu this week, kept her lucidity and apologized for her “low energy” - a term Trump has often used to mock rivals - as she spoke out again in favor of science and facts, and set off on yet another “Fridays for Future” march through snowy Davos streets. “Is she the chief economist? Who is she? I’m confused,” he said. Then, following a brief pause, he said it was ‘‘a joke.”
“We cannot care about those kinds of things,” said the Swede, who was selected as Time’s Person of the Year for 2019.
