Well, if Al Gore, along withe UN IPCC, could be nominated and win the Nobel Peace Prize for his climahysteria (and climahypocrisy and climalying), and Barack Obama could be nominated and win for doing absolutely nothing but winning an election, then why not an 11 year old 17 year old who looks 11 and is blowing off school and now trying to make lots of money off her new-found fame?
Teenage Climate Activist Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
Two lawmakers in Sweden have nominated Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize.
Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, who are both members of Sweden’s Left Party, said Monday that Thunberg “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis†and “action for reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace.â€
Yet, almost none are actually doing that much.
Thunberg, 17, has encouraged students to skip school to join protests demanding faster action on climate change, a movement that has spread beyond Sweden to other European nations and around the world. She founded the Fridays for Future movement that has inspired similar actions by other young people.
So, telling kids to blow off school is now grounds for a Peace Prize? According to Alfred Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize shall be awarded to the person who in the preceding year “shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”. Tell kids to skip school doesn’t quite apply, eh?
The 2018 award went to Denis Mukwege and Nadia Murad “for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict.” Telling kids to blow off school and governments to institute massive authoritarian controls on their citizens certainly qualifies, eh? The thing is, you can totally see her winning one, can’t you, based on who votes, right?
