Greta Thunberg's lie exposed by Deutsche Bahn
Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg has been taken to task by the German railway after tweeting a photo of herself sitting on the floor of a train surrounded by lots of bags.
The 16-year-old Swedish activist drew sympathy after posting the image with the comment that she was travelling through the country on "overcrowded trains" on her way home from the UN climate change conference in Madrid.

The crusading youngster does not fly on planes because it is considered harmful to the climate.
Responding, rail operator Deutsche Bahn said they were pleased to have her aboard their eco-friendly train and welcomed her support "in the fight against climate change".
But the company pointedly added: "It would have been even nicer if you had also reported how friendly and competent you were looked after by our team at your seat in first class."
Noch schöner wäre es gewesen, wenn Du zusätzlich auch berichtet hättest, wie freundlich und kompetent Du von unserem Team an Deinem Sitzplatz in der Ersten Klasse betreut worden bist. #Greta 2/2— Deutsche Bahn AG (@DB_Presse) December 15, 2019

@DB_Presse caught you out doing a @jeremycorbyn on the train, pretending to not have a seat to get publicity and to act a victim when youre not. Don't take the world for fools #Greta pic.twitter.com/ldnezUfC7b— Brewster's millions 💎 (@jbrewster905) December 15, 2019
