Davos

“The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) kicked off on Tuesday in the ski town of Davos… Greta Thunberg and U.S. President Donald Trump dominated as they both attempted to frame arguments around climate change… Trump backed a tree planting initiative and dismissed the ‘perennial prophets of doom’ on climate change.’” (Reuters)

The left applauds the focus on climate change and economic inequality, but worries that attendees will not match their words with actions.

The right accuses Davos attendees of hypocrisy and criticizes Thunberg’s policy suggestions.
