Greta Thunberg's death stare at Donald Trump is now the internet's favorite meme

After she inspired 4.5 million people to take to the streets on Friday, Greta Thunberg, a 16-year-old climate activist from Sweden, spoke to world leaders during the UN Climate Action Summit in New York on Monday. The teenager didn't mince her words, saying in part: 

"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. 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." 

Following her speech, Thunberg happened to be in the lobby of the United Nations as President Donald Trump arrived. News cameras were able to capture the memeworthy expression on Thunberg's face as he walked by her. 

President Trump was only at the climate summit for about 14 minutes and did not make a statement. On June 1, 2017, President Trump announced that the United States would pull out of all participation in the 2015 Paris Agreement that aimed to mitigate some of the worst effects of climate change. 

Unsurprisingly, the moment has since become a meme. This is probably how the dinosaurs looked at the asteroid. 

"The world is Greta Thunberg rn," another user wrote.

Another Twitter user compared Thunberg's interactions with President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama. 

"The world has found its shero, and her name is [Greta Thunberg]," another added. 

Twitter user Sam Stryker remarked: "Greta Thunberg’s glare at Donald Trump is giving me the energy to get through this Monday."

Others thought the moment deserved to be in The Office. 

Thunberg also earned plenty of praise on social media for her speech. 

"I am shaking," another user added.

Following her speech, Greta Thunberg and 15 other children filed a complaint with the United Nations alleging that Germany, France, Brazil, Argentina, and Turkey had violated their human rights by failing to take adequate action to try and halt climate change. 

The complaint says that the five countries failed to uphold their obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. 

"The message that we want to send is that we've had enough," Thunberg said. 

Carl Smith, a member of the indigenous Yupiaq tribe who lives in Akiak, Alaska, was one of the other children to file the complaint. He explained that climate change threatened to destroy the subsistence hunting and fishing that his community depends on to survive.
"I think they're acting slowly because they don't want to lose money," Smith said. "And I think they should go see what [climate change] is doing too little villages and cities." 

The children have not asked for any monetary compensation, and have requested that the governments of the five countries adjust their climate goals. 

The five countries that were named are among the 44 that have accepted the convention's jurisdiction to hear complaints against them. The United States could not be named in the complaint because it has not ratified the part of the treaty that allows children to seek justice for potential violations. China has also not signed that portion of the treaty.
