The Comedy Archiveslast four years have given Greta Thunberg plenty of practice when it comes to expertly shading politicians on Twitter, and she's not done.
Mere hours after pulverising former president Donald Trump with a farewell tweet, the teen climate activist delivered a superb smack to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, who made the mistake of publicly bemoaning President Joe Biden's executive order to have the U.S. rejoin the Paris Agreement (an international treaty signed by 196 countries to curb the planet's unyielding warmingthat Trump pulled the U.S. out of last year).
Cruz, who has spent the last few weeks backing up Trump's baseless allegations of voter fraud that ultimately led to a mob of Trump supporters storming the U.S. Capitol, decided to weigh in on the new president's decision to re-pledge to the climate agreement.
However, in a moment of pure bafflement, Cruz tweeted that rejoining signalled that Biden was "more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh."

To be clear, and perhaps someone should let Cruz know, the Paris Agreement does not (and we can't believe we have to say this) only concern "the views of the citizens of Paris." The historic Paris Agreement on Climate Change was titled for the location in which it was signed by 196 countries on Dec. 12, 2015, at the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP 21, held in Paris, France.
The agreement commits countries to keep the global temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels within this century, and to further reducing this temperature to below 1.5°C.
So following Cruz's tweet, Thunberg offered up this cheery tweet:

Well played.
Unsurprisingly, she wasn't the only person to go after Cruz for his nonsensical outburst.

Maybe read the agreement before you tweet?
