Climate activist Greta Thunberg shows support for Biden in rare political tweet | The Guardian

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Teen climate-change fighter Greta Thunberg on Saturday showed support for Democrat Joe Biden, urging voters concerned about the environment to make their voices heard in the U.S. presidential election.

The Swedish 17-year-old said in a tweet that she never engages in party politics, but that "the upcoming US elections is above and beyond all that".

"From a climate perspective it's very far from enough and many of you of course supported other candidates. But, I mean…you know…damn! Just get organized and get everyone to vote #Biden," she wrote.

Thunberg, who sparked a global climate protest movement after striking outside the Swedish parliament in 2018, could encourage participation among younger voters who are typically less likely to vote than older Americans.

After Thunberg was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2019, U.S President Donald Trump mocked the teen activist, tweeting she needed to "work on her anger management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend".
