Greta Thunberg, the founder of the Youth Strike for Climate movement, has been nominated for the Nobel peace prize, just before the biggest day yet of global action.

Thunberg began a solo protest in Sweden in August but has since inspired students around the globe. Strikes are expected in 1,659 towns and cities in 105 countries on Friday, involving hundreds of thousands of young people.

"We have proposed Greta Thunberg because if we do nothing to halt climate change it will be the cause of wars, conflict and refugees, said Norwegian Socialist MP Freddy Andr vstegrd. Greta Thunberg has launched a mass movement which I see as a major contribution to peace.

[I am] honoured and very grateful for this nomination, said Thunberg on Twitter. Tomorrow we #schoolstrike for our future. And we will continue to do so for as long as it takes. She has already challenged leaders in person at the UN climate summit in late 2018 and at Davos in January. Change is coming whether they like it or not, she said.

National politicians and some university professors can nominate candidates for the Nobel peace prize, which will be awarded in December. There are 301 candidates for the 2019 prize: 223 individuals and 78 organisations.

In 2014, the peace prize was awarded to 17-year-old Malala Yousafzai, for the struggle ... for the right of all children to education. She survived a Taliban assassination attempt in 2012.


I wonder if this extra publicity serves to help her win.

I think she will win.

What do you think?

the Prize doesn't really matter, so i hope she does just because Trump wants it, and if she wins the twitter tirade will be fun to watch.

I think she's a serious contender. And she could definitely deliver a fiery acceptance speech.

I think we'd all need some time to make an educated guess here.

She should because of the 24/7 outrage that would ensue from Faux News following that.

And Obama should have her over for tea and they both display their nobel prizes while the media photos it and Trump melts down.

Uhh...what does climate change protests have to do with stopping war? I don't get it. The link says:

We have proposed Greta Thunberg because if we do nothing to halt climate change it will be the cause of wars, conflict and refugees, said Norwegian Socialist MP Freddy Andr vstegrd. Greta Thunberg has launched a mass movement which I see as a major contribution to peace.

But that sounds like a huge stretch to me.

People fight over gas *now* so if I start a End Fossil Fuel protest then I should deserve an award for fighting for peace? I don't know. Seems like other people that would deserve it a lot more.
