As the videos of her media interaction started doing the rounds online, Thunberg tweeted to say that she has decided to go “net-zero” on her usage of “swear words” and “bad language”.
I am pleased to announce that I’ve decided to go net-zero on swear words and bad language. In the event that I should say something inappropriate I pledge to compensate that by saying something nice. #COP26

Here are a few reactions to what she said.
What an incredibly impressive young woman @GretaThunberg is. Whilst politicians get all flustered about f**king fish, she speaks with knowledge, passion and sagacity about the most important issue of our time: saving our home.

The voices of young people like @GretaThunberg and @vanessa_vash must be heard loudly and clearly at #COP26 - the next few days should not be comfortable for leaders, the responsibility to act must be felt. pic.twitter.com/bHVwUVxmci
