Activist Greta Thunberg burst into hysterical laughter when she learned the climate change group she founded was still protesting.

“Is it?” » she asked, looking surprised before bursting out laughing. “Really? They always do that?”

Thunberg recently made headlines for traveling aboard a so-called freedom flotilla to deliver aid to Gaza.

Thunberg’s hysterical laughter sparked criticism online, with many saying it was directed at young protesters who are continuing the demonstrations she started.

“Greta is the OG LARPer, cosplaying a climate activist,” one person wrote on X.

“The weather was just a warm-up. Hate Israel is the real job,” another user wrote.

Documentarian Hubertus Koch described the joke as “borderline”, while praising Thunberg for her activism in the fight against climate change and the war in Gaza..

Fridays for Future began in August 2018, when the Swedish activist began skipping school every Friday to protest in front of the Swedish parliament.

Thunberg gained notoriety through the protests and continued to speak out against climate change, including her latest appearance at the Cop31 climate summit in Türkiye on Thursday.
