Greta Thunberg has lead the charge passionate climate change movement which has captured the attention of the entire planet.

Most people wouldn’t pick a fight with Vladimir Putin but Greta Thunberg doesn’t seem to be worried about mocking the Russian President.

The climate activist delivered a cheeky response after Mr Putin described her as a kind but “poorly informed” girl.

Greta promptly changed her Twitter bio to “a kind but poorly informed teenager”.

The 16-year-old did the same thing after US President Donald Trump described her as a “very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future”.

It comes as Thunberg has been tipped to win the Nobel Peace Prize as bookies slash the odds on her taking home the award.

Ladbrokes and other betting shops suggest the teen climate campaigner is the front runner for the illustrious honour, just a week after she appeared at the United Nations, The Sun reported.

Her launch of the school strike that has inspired millions of kids to take Fridays off from school is believed to be the main reason for her being the favourite.

The 16-year-old Swede started the “Fridays for Future” movement to demand action be taken to combat global warming and is currently taking a year off school to focus on campaigning.

Greta started the strike alone outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm last August and has gone on to become one of the most recognisable faces in world affairs.

I find this picture so incredibly moving. This is @GretaThunberg aged 15, sat alone outside the Swedish Parliament Aug 2018 - the first school strike. In just one year, she’s created a wave that will change the whole world. Never underestimate the power of one young person 💜💚 pic.twitter.com/84oYgJpnLj — Louise Macdonald (@Louisemac) September 20, 2019

She already has an honour to her name after winning Amnesty International’s highest “Ambassadors of Conscience” human rights award last month.

“What she has done over the past year is extraordinary,” said Dan Smith, the director of Stockholm international peace research institute SIPRI.

“Climate change is an issue which is strongly related to security and peace.”

But experts are still divided over whether there is a direct link between climate and war and since the list of candidates considered by the Nobel Committee isn’t made public, any guess is uncertain.

And her criticism of world leaders is also thought to potentially count against the committee, which sits in her home country of Sweden, ruling in her favour next week.

Earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin took aim at the teenager branding her “poorly informed” and saying she was “telling developing countries they should keep living in poverty”.

Mr Putin wasn’t impressed by her impassioned speech, and ripped into the 16-year-old at an energy forum in Moscow this week.

He claimed it’s hypocritical to lecture poorer countries on the environmental impact of their bids to become more developed like the West.

Mr Putin said: “I may disappoint you but I don’t share the common excitement about the speech by Greta Thunberg.

“No one has explained to Greta that the modern world is complex and different and … people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same wealth level as in Sweden.

“Go and explain to developing countries why they should continue living in poverty and not be like Sweden.”

FIERY SPEECH

Greta last month blasted governments for thinking only of money as she said the world was sleepwalking into a climate catastrophe.

She raged: “People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing, we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and the fairytale of endless economic growth. How dare you!”

The teen’s fiery speech was hailed by millions, with climate change activists taking to the streets in huge protests around the world.

But others were less impressed, including US President Donald Trump who appeared to mock her as a “very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future”.

French President Emmanuel Macron also warned her “radical” climate change stance risks “depressing” an entire generation.

And some individuals were even more scathing, with sick trolls branding her “the little girl with mental problems”, and others suggesting she’s “not sexy enough” in vile rants.

But Mr Putin said young people who paid attention to environmental issues should be supported.

However, he cautioned: “When someone is using children and teenagers in personal interests, it only deserves to be condemned.

“I’m sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl.

“But adults must do everything not to bring teenagers and children into some extreme situations.”
