## Summary

Greta Thunberg laughed after being told that Fridays for Future, the climate protest movement she founded, was still demonstrating. The moment, filmed for a documentary about activism and its criminalisation, drew online criticism from people who interpreted her reaction as mocking the young protesters; the documentarian described the joke as “right on the edge”.

Thunberg began Fridays for Future in August 2018, aged 15, by skipping school to protest outside Sweden’s parliament. She is now 23 and continues to speak about climate change; the article says she appeared at the COP31 climate summit in Turkey on Thursday. It also notes her recent participation in a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza.
