Greta Thunberg offered mostly awkward laughter when a number of conservative pundits pressed her at the World Economic Forum with a series of questions on everything from her recent detainment in Germany to eating bugs to save the planet.
Thunberg has been protesting the WEF following a brief detainment by police in Germany at a demonstration against the expansion of a coal mine. Social media was rife with conspiracy theories based on the video where Thunberg is smiling as she’s carried off by police and then she appears to pose for cameras. Police denied the event was staged.
Thunberg was mainly questioned by conservative outlet Rebel News, each pundit for the network taking turns asking trolling questions. Thunberg mainly answered by laughing while walking.
“Greta, how did you get here today? What was your climate footprint in traveling here?” one asked, only eliciting a laugh from Thunberg.
