Climate activist Greta Thunberg has hit out at world leaders over a gas leak at an underwater pipeline at the Gulf of Mexico.
The leak unleashed a subaquatic fireball that appeared to boil the seawater. Images of the raging inferno were widely shared on social media.
Thunberg reposted a video clip of the massive fireball on her Twitter account.
"Meanwhile the people in power call themselves 'climate leaders' as they open up new oilfields, pipelines and coal power plants - granting new oil licences exploring future oil drilling sites," Thunberg wrote. "This is the world they are leaving for us."
