    We know by now that Greta Thunberg can throw shade when the occasion arises.

    For years, we’ve watched her humiliate Donald Trump on Twitter, despite his best efforts to belittle her.

    Let’s take a moment again to point out that a grown man was in a Twitter war with a teenage girl.

    Her latest stab at climate change denialists comes ahead of the “seven minutes of terror” that NASA is gearing up for as the Perseverance rover makes its way to the surface of Mars.

    Follow this link to find out how to watch it live, tonight at 9:15PM.

    Thunberg’s organisation, Fridays for Future, created a tourism ad for the red planet, which looks pretty standard as far as ads go, but with a kicker at the end:

    Fun and games, until you realise that you’re not one of the 1% that are going to be jetting off for life on another planet when everything goes to hell here.

    Here’s Euronews speaking with Los Angeles ad agency FRED & FARID who created the ad:

    “We aimed to create a film in a retro-futuristic and propaganda genre that would be both provocative and impactful,” says FRED & FARID Los Angeles.

    “We wanted to highlight pure nonsense,” says a FFF spokesperson.

    “Government-funded space programs and the world’s ultra-wealthy 1 per cent are laser focused on Mars (NASA’s Perseverance Rover alone cost $2.7 billion for development, launch, operations and analysis) – and yet, most humans will never get a chance to visit or live on Mars.

    He makes some solid points.

    The packaging that my coffee comes in is recyclable, does that count?

    Hey, it’s a start.
