16-year-old Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg responded to President Trump's description of her as "strange" during a recent political rally. In an interview with The Washington Post, Greta stated: "If anyone thinks that climate crisis is something you can just ignore, then I think they are strange... It feels like the world is becoming increasingly angry, and more and more angry people become increasingly angry because the situation is getting worse and worse."

She continued, addressing the criticism directed towards her by Trump and other world leaders: "I think what we need now is more young angry women. It is rarely the case that people listen to scientists, and the majority of the world's population is not even aware of the scientific facts regarding the climate crisis... And since we are facing an existential crisis, then I think it is time to speak up."

Greta was deported by Israel while sailing to Gaza in an effort to raise awareness about the impact of the climate crisis on the region's inhabitants. Israeli authorities stated that Greta and her fellow activists did not have the necessary permits to enter Israel and would have been detained had they landed in Tel Aviv.

The group was eventually allowed to dock in Gaza's port, where they met with local activists, before once again setting out for Europe.

Given the heightened attention surrounding Greta and her efforts to advocate for climate action, it remains to be seen whether other 'young angry women' will emerge globally, capturing the world's attention and pressing the case for urgent climate action.

As the climate crisis continues to exacerbate and unleash widespread disruptions across the globe, the youth has emerged as one of the most powerful forces shaping the discourse on climate action.
