Greta Thunberg has arrived in Glasgow ahead of the Cop26 summit, as world leaders prepare to discuss the climate crisis.

Her arrival has triggered the same angry reactions she seems to attract whenever she tries do something to help save the planet.

More of that later though.

The Swedish activist arrived at Glasgow Central station on Saturday evening, having taken a train from London Euston.

After leaving the train, she was surrounded by police and other activists as she made her way around the station.

Finally in Glasgow for the #COP26! And thank you for the very warm welcome…😅 pic.twitter.com/mK4vl7iTM1

The international conference begins formally on Sunday, with a summit of 120 dignitaries and heads of state starting the following day.

Ms Thunberg travelled to Scotland after she took part in a demonstration outside a bank in London on Friday.

Fossil fuels

She was mobbed by other climate change activists at the protest outside the Standard Chartered headquarters, as they lobbied against the global financial system supporting the use of fossil fuels.

Ms Thunberg is expected to take part in other demonstrations during the two-week summit in Glasgow.

There will be a march through the city on November 5, organised by Fridays for Future Scotland – the Scottish branch of the movement inspired by her activism.

She is also expected to speak at a rally taking place on Saturday hosted by the Cop26 Coalition.

However, Ms Thunberg has said her formal participation in the summit itself is uncertain.

In a preview for his BBC One show on Sunday, Andrew Marr asked Ms Thunberg if she had been invited to Cop26, and she responded: “I don’t know. It’s very unclear. Not officially.

“I think that many people might be scared that if they invite too many radical young people, then that might make them look bad.”

Reactions

Of course there is a huge show of support for her and what she is trying to achieve, but as ever people seem to get a kick out of slamming a young woman trying to save the planet, go figure.

Facebook really is such utter trash.

Checked on the comments under the picture of Greta Thunberg after she visited the Museum this morning, and it is just appalling.

These are adults. Every single one of them. Utterly shameful. And no rebrand is going to change that. pic.twitter.com/uJzhFOzvuX

Not all young people are wannabe Greta Thunberg’s, some of us think it’s a load of nonsense.

Yes, Greta. History will judge you as someone who knows nothing about climate science and a lot about globalist propaganda techniques. https://t.co/hWBWpkfuAW

I find this very strange that Greta gets all this attention for being a climate activist but never comes up with any solutions jus bla bla bla bla scientists will only give you the problems don't really come up with solutions. So let's turn off all the power and see what happens.

Y'all ever wonder if, maybe, Greta Thunberg just didn't want to go to school?
