Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg nominated for Nobel Peace Prize

A teenage activist from Sweden who launched a global campaign against climate change has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Greta Thunberg was put forward by three Norwegian politicians who say she has started"a very important peace contribution". As part of her Youth Strike 4 Climate campaign, the 16-year-old has called on students to skip school to join protests urging countries to act faster on climate change.Norwegian politician Freddy Andre Oevstegaardtold said:"Climate threats are perhaps one of the most important contributions to war and conflict."The Norwegian Nobel Committee does not publicly comment on nominations, which for 2019 had to be submitted by 1 February.

Tell her she need to go to school instead

Nominated, by her Mum. How stupid.

Fair play to her because she's doing what she believes in, and the cause is just - but this is another demonstration of how the prize is typically doled out in an idiotic, gesture-politics way. President Trump grounded hundreds of polluting passenger jets today - why not him?

Respect to her, and all those who are supporting her.

Really

libdemfightbac Just watch Trump lose his mind on foxnews

Will she cycle to the ceremony? Or a private jet and limo?

I split up a fight in the old town once ? ... no ? Never mind .

Western civilisation is in a self-regarding death spiral.

🙇‍♂️Why not .... Obama got one for absolutely nothing. Debased the award .

just show how low the bar is now set

I broke up a fight in Poundland last Saturday where's my nomination ?

Serial truant, Nobel nomination? You couldn’t make it up! Or maybe they can: “We have nominated Greta because climate threat may be one of the most important causes of war and conflict,” Really? 😂🤡😂

Are we all just gonna ignore Donald Trump over here. Peace to Korea not enough for the libs 😡

FFS

Jesus Christ

There are few people in this vale of tears more joyous and life affirming than a Scandinavian teenage climate activist.

What has that got to do with peace?

Losing value now!

I blame the snowflake parents

we all agree to pollution issues....what I don't wanna believe is we could have the capability to change the climate. sadly, these kids are being led astray by a group of baboons who believe that.

Nobel Peace prize for being an activist for a made up problem? Luster of a NPP was ruined when Renegade won one for no reason.

Why isn't she in school 🤔
