Same, Greta, same.

Fresh off of spearheading the Global Climate Strike, which saw millions of participants around the world, 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived at the United Nations General Assembly for a climate summit, continuing her efforts to engage world leaders in the fight against the climate crisis.

There was another notable figure there too: President Donald Trump.


Trump's administration has been no friend to the planet. He once said that global warming was a hoax invented by the Chinese. He's rolled back endangered species protections, clean water policies, and slashed environmental accountability for various industries in the name of deregulation. He pulled out of the landmark Paris Climate Accord and slashed nearly a hundred other environmental protections.

So it's no surprise that Thunberg would react with this face upon seeing him, captured perfectly in this epic GIF:

For contrast, here's Thunberg meeting former President Barack Obama last week:

But Thunberg did more than just give a look. In a rousing answer regarding her message to world leaders, Thunberg took them to task for the global inaction regarding the climate crisis.

Watch below.

Thunberg said:

"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet, you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, and yet, I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying...And all you can talk about is money and fairytales of eternal economic growth. How dare you?"

Trump stayed at the UN climate summit for approximately 15 minutes.

People could relate to the look she gave Trump.

Thunberg has previously said she feels no need to meet Donald Trump. His apathy for the environment and the inaction of world leaders everywhere doesn't seem to dampen Thunberg's resolve in the least.

Dem Rep. Offers Brutally Accurate Reason For Why He Can't Understand 'The Mind Of Donald Trump'

Massachusetts Democratic Representative Seth Moulton made a fitting observation about President Donald Trump's mind after Trump gave a 20-minute address to the nation about his war in Iran on Wednesday evening.

Trump claimed “core strategic objectives are nearing completion” in the Iran war and vowed to strike Iran "extremely hard" over the next two to three weeks. He said that he would finish the job "very fast," without setting any timeline for ending the war. He pledged to "bring them [Iranians] back to the Stone Ages, where they belong.”

The video, posted on Instagram, shows a group of Iraqi sports fans standing in an airport holding a banner with Arabic and Spanish writing. The fans were there to support Iraq during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia, which resulted in a 2-1 upset victory earlier that day.

Some viral videos come along that leave us unsure whether we should laugh or cry. In the case of squirrels trying to vape, crying is unfortunately the more likely outcome.

E-cigarettes have dramatically increased in popularity in recent years and are often even portrayed as a cool accessory on social media. Unfortunately, disposable, one-time-use e-cigarettes have been made affordable and easily accessible, and instead of properly disposing of them, people often leave them on the ground like cigarette butts.
