The occasional article deals with a topic that Professor Irena Kamińska-Szmaj has explored in recent decades of Her scientific activity. It is an attempt to investigate the process of creating political invective in response to microexpressions, i.e. momentary movements of the facial muscles expressing emotions, in relation to Greta Thunberg — a teenage icon of the ecological movement. It contains both an analysis of microexpression based on 20 photos from public activist speeches and how they spread in social media with the hashtag #gretinism, which can be considered a manifestation of the connection between the communication crisis and the ecological one.
