I Love That Greta Thunberg Has Been Nominated For A Nobel Peace Prize

[Me.]

She’s been nominated before, I hope the fearless miss gets it this time.

“According to The Associated Press, two lawmakers from Sweden, Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, announced they had nominated the teen on Monday, citing her climate activism.

The two lawmakers said the 17-year-old “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis,” adding that “action for reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” the news agency reports.

According to the AP, the deadline to submit nominations for the prestigious honor was Sunday.”

8. What Is Even More Astounding To Me Is She Has Asperger's Syndrome

“That has since changed. In the past year, as teen environmental activist Greta Thunberg has launched an international movement to address climate change, the 16-year-old from Sweden has notched another accomplishment, say those on the autism spectrum. By being open about her own diagnosis of Asperger's — even calling it her "superpower" — Thunberg has emerged as a role model to those on the spectrum, and has educated others about what autism can look like.”

“What are the signs and symptoms of Asperger's syndrome?
• lack of social awareness;
• lack of interest in socializing/making friends;
• difficulty making and sustaining friendships;”

4. Trump will go out of his mind

if she receives the honor.

6. That would be a BIG side bonus.

I think that Thunberg likely deserves the prize for her activism and blazing a way for other young people to push forward and claim the world for themselves for the future making the rest of us "grown ups" act on their behalf.

The fact that Trump will likely have a melt down, would just make the situation ever so sweet.

9. I Don't Want To Jinx Her Chances

But it would be a +1

7. So she joins Henry Kissinger among the award winning peacemakers?

Love Greta and don't begrudge her the prize money, but the Nobel Peace Prize ain't sh*t.
