Teen activist Greta Thunberg to sail to America for UN climate summit

The transcript discusses the eco-friendly yacht Malaysia Two, which uses solar panels and underwater turbines to generate electricity. Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old climate activist, plans to sail from the UK to New York on this vessel to attend the UN Climate Action Summit. The journey, expected to take two weeks, will be challenging due to the lack of comfort and potential rough seas during the Atlantic hurricane season. Thunberg avoids flying to reduce her carbon footprint, as flights generate significant carbon emissions. The transcript highlights the environmental impact of air travel, noting that a flight from London to New York produces more carbon dioxide per person than the annual per capita footprint in India.
