Former professional kickboxer and controversial social media influencer Andrew Tate recently picked a fight with climate activist Greta Thunberg on Twitter. Tate boasted about his carbon emission output, seemingly trying to goad Thunberg into a response.
Despite Thunberg’s reputation for keeping a low profile on social media, she responded with a witty and cutting remark that quickly went viral and garnered millions of likes. Many have praised Thunberg for her clever comeback, seeing it as a much-needed rebuke to Tate’s irresponsible message.
The incident underscores the ongoing importance of environmental activism and the role social media can play in amplifying these messages.
