During a keynote address at Davos on Tuesday at&nbsp;the World Economic Forum, the US president had taken a dig at Thunberg saying that "perennial prophets of doom" should be rejected. &nbsp;"They want to see us do badly," the US President said.

Trump claimed "alarmists" had been wrong on previous occasions.

Before Trump's address, Thunberg&nbsp;had said that nothing was being done to fight climate change. "There is a difference between being heard to actually leading to something," she added.

"It will require much more than this. This is just the very beginning," the 17-year-old said. Thunberg was present during Trump's address but looked calm quite&nbsp;different to when Trump had walked into the UN headquarters in September when the Sweedish teenager looked visibly furious.
