It turns out that I have crossed half the world in the opposite direction”, explained Thunberg on his Twitter account. “I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November,” he added.
As #COP25 you have officially been moved from Santiago to Madrid I’ll need some help.
It turns out I’ve traveled half around the world the wrong way:)
Now I need to find a way to cross the Atlantic in November… If anyone could help me find transport I would be so grateful.
