Full title: GRETA THUNBERG SNUBBED FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE BY COMMITTEE RUN BY NORWAY, ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST OIL AND NATURAL GAS

The Nobel Committee has surprised oddsmakers by not picking 16-year-old Greta Thunberg to win the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.

The five-member Norwegian panel instead announced on Friday that Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed had won the award, "for his efforts to achieve peace and international cooperation, and for in particular his decisive initiative to resolve the border conflict with neighboring Eritrea," a statement said.

Thunberg has become the figurehead of the youth climate movement after skipping school to protest outside the Swedish Parliament in August 2018, inspiring the waves of student strikes that followed.

Over the last year, she has (among other things) led a Global Climate Strike spanning 150 countries, graced the cover of Time Magazine as a 'Next Generation Leader' and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean in a yacht to speak to lawmakers in Washington and New York.

Do we really have to read such ridiculous stuff?

[bgill]

Bet she gave them the evil eye.

[LIConFem]

I’m actually surprised. I thought being a nasty Marxist with undiagnosed psychological disorder(s) and a single-digit IQ was at least a prerequisite for the prize.

[butlerweave]

Algore got the Global Warming Nobel Peace Prize for nothing and maybe they feel one was enough ,LOL

[yoe]

THE LOOK OF THE TOTALLY BRAIN WASHED...THEY'RE NOT BEING AGREED WITH.....

[gcparent]

She had her 15 min of fame

[Old_Grouch]

Thank the Lord for small blessings!

[BitWielder1]

Figure they would see it that way.
Long gone are the days when you actually had to achieve something very difficult and by your own labor before you were even considered for a Nobel Prize.

[Not A Snowbird]

Why on earth would she be up for a Peace Prize?

[BBQToadRibs]

She’s got a pretty sweet gig for skipping out of school, though. I’ll give her that.

[simpson96]

LOL that of course, Newsweek would think it’s a “snub”.

[HamiltonJay]

Snubbed?

You road a boat and screeched... That’s not worthy of a Nobel Prize... though I suppose its more than Obama ever did to deserve one.

[DoughtyOne]

Hopefully she’s now qualified for the Cindy Sheehan hall of fame trophy.

[Beagle8U]

Boy, those two would whelp some ugly a$$ pups.

[LottieDah]

Those kids look constipated. Get them some prunes stat!

[Textide]

[Bullish]

They said they’d let her know when there’s a whiny little brat award.

[GOPJ]

Soros is backing a 'children's movement against Global warming or Global Change or whatever it's called today.

Anyone know if this young idiot is one of the Soros puppets?

[Bullish]

What the hell does she need school for if her world is going to end in 11 years?

[Bullish]

Newsweek is spelled Newsweak around here.
