    Comment Greta Thunberg a retourné Trump comme une crêpe en utilisant sa formule pour définir son profil Twitter.

    Addressing the United Nations General Assembly during the Climate Action Summit on Monday, Greta Thunberg — a 16-year-old activist from Sweden — passionately urged world leaks to step up their battle against climate change. Thunberg’s comments set off a Twitter war, with climate change deniers and supporters of President Donald Trump attacking or mocking her while others praised her. And New York Times journalist Astead W. Herndon tweeted a warning for some of Thunberg’s critics: be careful when picking Internet fights with the youth.

    Attacks on Thunberg from climate change deniers have ranged from angry to dismissive. Far-right media wingnut Michael Knowles described Thunberg as “mentally ill” during an appearance on Fox News, and Trump sarcastically tweeted that Thunberg “seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future. So nice to see!” And Thunberg trolled the president on Twitter with some sarcasm of her own, describing herself as “a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future.”

    Herndon, in response, tweeted, “Getting in social media fights with the youths is a dangerous game. The whole Internet is their home court advantage.”
