Greta Thunberg Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize for Skipping School
PJ Media ^ | February 3, 2020 | Matt Margolis

In what can only be described as another attempt to delegitimize the value of the Nobel Peace Prize, exploited teenager Greta Thunberg has been nominated again for the award.

Many on the left were disappointed last year when they said Greta, who's basically famous for skipping school, was "snubbed" for the prize after being favored to win it.

Two left-wing Swedish lawmakers publicly announced their nomination of the Thunberg on Monday, claiming she “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis.” Her work toward “reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” they claim.

The Paris Climate Accord was supposed to get countries to reduce their carbon emissions, however, the United States, which pulled out of the agreement under Trump, has actually led the world in reducing emissions—while those still signed onto the treaty have failed to meet goals.

So, yeah, in the end, Greta Thunberg is just a child who skipped school to shame adults over an issue she's been brainwashed about.

That's as ridiculous as, I don't know, giving Barack Obama a Peace Prize for similarly doing absolutely nothing to promote peace.

Seriously, does the award even mean anything anymore?

...except that this child (yes, she was 16 at the beginning of this saga) is absolutely on the spectrum, has other problems, and is absolutely being exploited by her parents and handlers. Shame on them- and THAT is the REAL story: that the left happily endorses the political exploitation of minors.

If there was a 16-yr old pro-gun kid with behavioral problems that got attention and talked like Ted Nugent on Fox News, I'd wonder just what kind of lowlife parent would let their child be in that situation, where scores of adults will make their child the butt-end of memes, gifs, etc. I would not bash the kid. I'd bash the parents.

Tis piteous Deplorables aren't attacking the adults with their same gusto with which they're having a go at the kid.
