US reality TV star Kim Kardashian has heaped praise on teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, calling her a “brave and amazing young woman” and said she shared her concerns about climate change.
Kardashian (38) said she would love to have dinner with Thunberg, who told world leaders at the opening of a UN conference last month that they had stolen her childhood with “empty words”.
“She (Thunberg) is such an amazing young girl, and so brave and courageous to stand up to these grown-ups that can be very scary and for her to be so open and honest is exactly what we need,” she said during a visit to Armenia.
“Climate change is a serious problem,” said Kardashian, who was attending the World Congress on Information Technology in the Armenian capital Yerevan.
Kardashian’s ancestors came from Armenia and her visit also included seeing three of her four children baptised in the country’s main cathedral Echmiadzin. Her elder daughter, North, was baptised in 2015 in an Armenian church in Jerusalem.
Kardashian said that all members of her family were very cautious about the environment and she defended other famous people like Prince Harry and his wife Meghan, who have been criticised for using private jets. They were “very passionate about decisions that change the world”.
Kardashian, who is married to Kanye West, said she had no plans to enter politics.
