People have noticed a striking resemblance to climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has inspired and led climate strikes around the world.

Others however, have denied the possibility of time travel:
Thunberg won’t be responding anytime soon, however. She is currently on a 48-foot catamaran travelling to Spain for the U.N Climate Change Convention next month.
