‘They still do that?’
Key Points:
- Greta Thunberg reacted with surprise and hysterical laughter upon learning that Fridays for Future, the climate group she founded in 2018, was still holding protests, during filming of a new documentary.
- Her reaction in the documentary "On Tanks into the Climate Crisis How Activism is Criminalised" sparked online criticism, with some accusing her of mocking current young protesters.
- Thunberg, now 23, remains active in climate advocacy and recently participated in a freedom flotilla delivering aid to Gaza, highlighting her engagement in multiple activist causes.
- The documentarian described her laughter as a borderline joke but praised her continued commitment to fighting climate change and addressing the war in Gaza.
- Fridays for Future originated from Thunberg's school strikes starting in 2018 and continues to organize protests, with Thunberg recently appearing at the COP31 climate summit in Turkey.
