Greta Thunberg might be the world's most prominent climate change activist, but she also knows how to have a good laugh. The 17-year-old environmentalist has proved this time and time again with her social media responses to Donald Trump's comments about her.

However her latest move on social media, er... trumped all of those.

When actress Amanda Henderson appeared on Celebrity Mastermind earlier this week, she was asked a question by host John Humphrys.

'No One Is Too Small To Make A Difference is a collection of speeches made by a Swedish climate change activist,' he said. 'What's her name?'

Henderson, who stars in Casualty, looked baffled, then responded 'Sharon'.

It wasn't long before the clip went viral on social media. Soon enough Thunberg herself spotted it, and responded perfectly by changing her Twitter name to Sharon.

Thunberg has used her social media to hit back at comments made by Trump in the past, changing her bio to match the comments he has made about her.

When the US President sarcastically said Greta 'seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future', she changed her bio to read: 'A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future'.

Our New Years resolution? Be more Greta.
