Activist Greta Thunberg broke out into hysterical laughter when she learned that the climate change group she founded was still protesting.
Thunberg looked shocked when she was informed that she was filming a documentary the same day Fridays for Future, which she had formed in 2018 when she was just 15, was holding a protest in Berlin.
“Is it?’ she asked, looking surprised before breaking into loud laughter. “Really? They still do that?”
Thunberg’s bizarre reaction came as part of her appearance in “On Tanks into the Climate Crisis How Activism is Criminalised” documentary.
She and her friend continue cracking up, as Thunberg, now 23, yells, “Cut!”
Thunberg recently made news for traveling on a so-called freedom flotilla to deliver aid to Gaza.
Thunberg’s hysterical laughter drew criticism online, with many claiming it was directed at the young protesters who are continuing the demonstrations she began.
“Gretta is the OG LARPer, cosplaying a climate activist,” one person X wrote.
“Climate was just the warm-up. Hating Israel is the real job,” another user wrote.
The documentarian, Hubertus Koch, described the joke as being “right on the edge,” while still hailing Thunberg for her activism fighting climate change and the war in Gaza.
Friday for Futures began in August 2018 when the Swedish activist started skipping school every Friday to protest outside the Swedish parliament.
Thunberg gained notoriety over the demonstrations and has continued to speak out against climate change, including her latest appearance at the Cop31 climate summit in Turkey on Thursday.
