Greta Thunberg nominated for Nobel Peace Prize?

What ever you think of her Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for the second year on a row.

Two politicians in Sweden have nominated the teenage campaigner for the 2020 prize for her work to raise awareness of the climate crisis.

Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, of Sweden's Left Party, said the 17-year-old 'has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis'.

They added Thunberg had also said her work in 'reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace'.

Thunberg was also nominated in 2019, but lost out last year to Ethiopia's prime minister, Abiy Ahmed.

The 2015 landmark Paris climate deal asks both rich and poor countries to take action to curb the rise in global temperatures that is melting glaciers, raising sea levels and shifting rainfall patterns.

I can’t see how she’s peaceful- stares at a roomful of adults and says “how dare you”? In an aggressive manner- some people say she has to be like this to “kick Arse”

The question is does she deserve it?
