Let Us Now Praise Greta Thunberg’s White-Hot Rage
Donald Trump was the object of her steely glare, if not her words.

Look at Greta Thunberg, who recently sailed across the ocean to speak on Monday at the U.N. for the Climate Action Summit. Look at her absolute rage, which in the following GIF, appears to be reserved for one Donald J. Trump:

With that look, she didn’t have to actually say anything; it would have been fine. Her weeks-long trip across the Atlantic would have been worth it. We would have still felt the white-hot fire of her fury. A hole would have still bore into the back of Trump’s head, exposing the infertile terrain beneath.

Narrowed eyes and forceful inflection accompanied her words, as she directed them toward those who have chosen to do nothing, or run interference, or construct red herrings out of nothing in the face of climate change. She’s already gotten under some adults’ skin while she was merely crossing the ocean to come to the U.N. (boats, she reminded us, release far less carbon than planes). Several have taken to heckling the 16-year-old publicly. But at least in that one look, her message seemed to be for Trump alone.

Which, fair. He’s a man who says the types of things a very stupid person would say about climate change. Like, because it can still get really cold sometimes, climate change must not exist. Once, when asked if he believes in climate change, he said, I shit you not,, “I believe there’s a change in weather, and I think it changes both ways.”

These would all be the ramblings of an idiot, if he didn’t also, with the help of those in his administration, try to undo the small concessions past administrations have made in order to keep living on the Earth as we know it.

Anyway, listen: Greta Thunberg can run me over with her rage and compost my body. It would be an honor.
