And she never intended to become the face of a global movement.

No need. She can continue to exert her influence from the outside without holding the job of government employee and doing any work.

Here's a recent picture of her, not a bad looking young woman to be perfectly honest.

She hasn’t changed much appearance wise. You can see new pics on her InstaSpam and Tweater and other than short hair, not much difference.

Make national energy policy based off the advice of a teenager. What could possibly go wrong?
