GRETA THUNBERG SNUBBED FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE...
Newsweek ^ | 11 Oct 2019 | Rosie McCall

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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?
