Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by two Swedish lawmakers. Thunberg, 17, captured global attention for leading a student strike in her home country of Sweden to raise awareness about climate change. Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, both members of Sweden's Left Party, argued that Thunberg’s international tour to combat climate change is worthy of the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize. In nominating Thunberg, Holm and Svenneling said the teenager had “worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis.” They argued that reducing emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is “an act of making peace.”

It was already rendered meaningless when Obama won it. Might as well double down on dumb with this tool.

She is a female Chucky. The posters on this site are correct, this award is a joke. If big ears received the award I guess this deranged kid can.

Since there hasn’t been any Swedish political winners for a while, might as well toss this one a bone.

Correction:The Nobel Peace Prize became a joke when Arafat won it (long before Obama).
And remember, Scoldilocks was nominated last year but didn't win. She's yesterday's news and though some moron is still trying to prop her up to keep her relevant, fact is she is already a has-been and her time has passed. If she couldn't win it last year at her peak of notoriety, I seriously doubt she'll ever win it.

Saint Greta, with all her indignation and foot stomping has done nothing, by her own admission, to move the carbon or earth temps numbers down. So worthy a candidate is she. The NPP platter also comes with a million dollars that she can dump into her "foundation".

That piercing, whining sound you hear is Alfred Nobel spinning in his grave... What was that game show in the fifties where there was an "applause meter?" That's pretty much how these "prizes" are determined since the Obama give-away..

That which we know as the Climate Change Crisis is in reality the tip of the spear of a global communist movement for world domination. A false cause used to whip up support to take from the world's producers and hand over to the non-producers and lesser producers of course creating the need for an elite class to administrate and central plan it all. Both Karl Marx and history tell us that it takes violence to accomplish that.
Greta has been propped up to be the very point on the spear tip in what, if successful, will result in World War III. And for that she gets the Nobel Peace Prize. Sadly she's an abused child but frankly she is more deserving of the Adolph Hitler Good Neighbor Prize or the Joseph Stalin Agriculture Planning Award, or the Mao Zedong Community Development Award.
Same enemy different century. Same human nature, same best answer ever devised by a flawed humankind guided by God: The Holy Bible and the US Constitution.

At this point it is the Nobel Dunce Prize. Awarded jointly by the board of directors at The Onion and Mad Magazine. Trump can be thankful that he will never be awarded one.

I have never seen an angrier person nominated for something that has the name "PEACE" on it. Maybe there should be a "My way or the highway, hissy fit award".

I just added to the climate change catastrophe by throwing up my breakfast when I read this. So I will spend the next 30 minutes trying my best to restore my home’s air quality. I promise not to use any carbon-based cleaners nor diesel/gasoline powered washers during the cleanup process.

Actually it became a joke when the terrorist leader of the PLO won it. Arafat had no business winning that award in 1994. That win set the precedent for Obama.Now we have Scoldilocks being nominated. The exploitation of children continues.

I predicted that to myself sometime ago. I am not at all surprised. The Nobel prize once upon a time actually meant something. After Obama got one, shortly after being President, I realized the Nobel was a joke. Greta getting one now confirms it.

Go ahead and give it to her. She can use the money to retire with her female husband (after she comes out, of course)! She is a perfect representative for this award! Nice going to the young dame!
