By now you know who Greta Thunberg is.
She’s the teenage girl who has become the leader of a worldwide movement demanding action against climate change.
She’s also, apparently, the most terrifying thing in the world to angry men in the comments sections of news articles.
There’s a helpline for that if you need it.
Following Thunberg’s harrowing speech at the UN recently, millions of people all over the world gathered to protest climate change.
After a meeting with Canadian leader (and man with a hankering for blackface) Justin Trudeau, Thunberg attended one of the 278 demonstrations that took place in the country on Friday, picking Montreal.
Here’s the Huffington Post:
She also delivered a powerful speech where she condemned global leaders for their inaction on climate change.
“If they had done their job, we wouldn’t need to worry. If they had started acting in time, then this crisis wouldn’t be the crisis it is today,” Thunberg said.
“We will do everything in our power to stop this crisis from getting worse, even if that means skipping school or work. Because this is more important.”

It’s not often that teenagers can teach us something, but we could all learn a thing or two from Greta Thunberg.
