Greta Thunberg Mocks Putin Criticism with Twitter Bio: 'A Kind But Poorly Informed Teenager'

Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old Swedish climate activist that gained worldwide notoriety for her weekly school strikes, has put another world leader in her crosshairs after Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed her as a "poorly informed" girl.

Speaking at an energy forum in Moscow on Wednesday, Putin said he did not share "the common excitement" about Thunberg, adding, however, that he is "sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl."

Thunberg then took to Twitter to mock the Russian president, changing her bio to read: "A kind but poorly informed teenager."

It follows a similar tack that she deployed against U.S. President Donald Trump after he made light of comments she made to the United Nations General Assembly, angrily telling the world: "How dare you?"
