Nearly 300 climate scientists have expressed their support for Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg in an article in the national newspaper Dagens Nyheter.
In the article published on 15 March, 270 scientists backed the global climate protests led by children around the world, sparked by Thunberg’s activism.
