Teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg has delivered a hilarious rebuke to her trolls and haters on her 18th birthday this week.

In a tweet made to her 4.4 million followers, Thunberg uploaded a picture of herself giving a thumbs up to the camera while wearing a t-shirt that reads: "Flat Mars Society."

Greta captioned the post: "Thank you so much for all the well-wishes on my 18th birthday! Tonight you will find me down at the local pub exposing all the dark secrets behind the climate- and school strike conspiracy and my evil handlers who can no longer control me! I am free at last!! [sic]"

The post has since accrued over 15,000 retweets.

In a recent interview with Sunday Times magazine in honor of her turning 18, Thunberg stated that she now refuses to purchase new clothes, and has vowed instead to borrow garments from friends.

Thunberg stated: "I don't need new clothes. I know people who have clothes, so I would ask them if I could borrow them or if they have something they don't need anymore. The worst-case scenario, I guess I'll buy second-hand."

This also comes not long after Thunberg responded to Donald Trump's criticism of her on Twitter after the president appeared to accuse the Swedish youth of having anger management issues.

In a tweet made to his 88 million followers on Twitter, Trump wrote: "Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill! [sic]"

In response, Thunberg changed her Twitter bio to read: "A teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend. [sic]"

Then, after Trump appeared to be ranting over his loss of the 2020 Presidential Election to Democrat candidate Joe Biden, Thunberg flipped the script by tweeting in reply:

"So ridiculous. Donald must work on his Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Donald, Chill!"

Happy birthday to you Greta, and many happy returns of the day.
