The University of Helsinki announced Monday the institution will confer climate change activist Greta Thunberg with an honorary Doctorate of Theology.
In its news release, the Finland-based university called the honorary degree its “highest recognition,” and 20-year-old Thunberg of Sweden is one of 30 individuals set to be honored as part of the school’s annual graduation ceremonies this May.
The announcement came just one day before a Swedish court gave Thunberg and hundreds of other climate activists approval “to proceed with a class action lawsuit against the Swedish state for ‘insufficient climate policy,'” Reuters reported.
“Thunberg, and 600 other young activists in a group called Aurora, sued the Swedish state in November, claiming it had to do more to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in order to live up to the European Convention on Human Rights,” the outlet reported Tuesday.
Thunberg has become the poster child for progressive climate change activism in recent years.

A School of Theology? I regularly walk past Boston University’s School of Theology and always wonder if the final exam is to list the number of ways to prove that there is no God.

The honorary degree aside, this is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. The Swedish government is responsible for global warming... all by itself (that is, if one even actually believes in such a thing as global warming)?
Maybe they can get her a puberty degree first.
What will the church body do to the Heretics?
The young and dumb need a leader
Bet she never opened a Bible in her entire life.
Exactly. Climate is a cult religion like government.
Does Greta believe in God? Sweden is 57% Christian, 33% agnostic or atheist, the rest mostly Muslim. Probably the percentage of believers is smaller among the young as it is in many other countries.
Well, its appropriate. Gaia Worship is a religion after all.
I expected better than this from the Finns. Perkele!
And all this time many of us felt Climate Change was like a religion To the flock......
Oh please! This is so insulting. She is a lunatic.
Yawn
That and a bunch of money will get her a plate of lutefisk
Gaia worshipper.
Let’s not let this petulant little brat who needs a good spanking ruin our lives. Simple as that,
