You already know that climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived on the shores of lower Manhattan on Wednesday (8-28-2019 at about 4:00 pm Eastern), after a 15-day transatlantic journey on an emissions-free racing yacht. 

However, a few items:

Her slogan: Unite Behind the Science.

What she would say to President Trump: "'Listen to the science' and he obviously does not do that. If no one has been able to convince him about the climate crisis and the urgency, why would I be able to?" 

In this Democracy Now! video with Amy Goodman there are interviews with Greta Thunberg, her father, Svante Thunberg, and two student activists: Alexandria Villasenor and Xiye Bastida.
