Whether you agree with her or not, literally every news article about climate change for the last several months invokes her name at some point. Seems like a fine pick given their criteria.

Whoever wins the election.
People were going nuts about "cancel Time" and everything when they named Trump Person of the Year for 2016.
They've literally picked the president elect every 4 years.

I can see how this happened. Bunch of editors sitting around, worried about the impending deadline. Someone mockingly suggests her, everyone laughs. One didn't pick up on the sarcasm, and runs with it

Whoops! Too late to change it now. If only they had an actual worthwhile person for Person of the year...

Environmental extremists are so cringe it's not even funny. Just watch the video in the link I posted above.. you get a clear picture of these types of nut jobs. I actually care less about the environment now because of Greta and these types of people.. well not really but I certainly don't care more about it.

Just do your part, recycle your shit and put your waste where it needs to go. For example, I carry with me a reusable straw ( because more and more places are using paper straws and it's just nasty using them ).

Greta is absolutely cringe AF and I can't stand looking at her face anymore or ever. Imo she's doing more damage than good.

Actually, they held a poll asking the public who they thought should be person of the year, "Hong Kong Protesters" won handily, and they choose Greta anyway.

I'm not upset, because I don't care about Time, but that's what happened.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Person_of_the_Year

According to this, Time has already given person of the year to "not a single person" in the past.

2018 was "persecuted journalists" 2017 was "people who spoke out against sexual harassment", 2014 was "healthcare workers fighting Ebola".

But on a serious note, Hong Kong protesters got robbed.

They absolutely should've gotten the cover. At least they had an actual impact.

Time's person of the year doesn't mean the best person of the year. Look at the list. It is more like people who are most talked about, shook things up and have influenced events that year, good or bad.

I'm not wild about how they choose and would have liked the protesters to be considered more than her but just like her whining, Time magazine means little.

Currently by aggressive emotional manipulation.

It's also not a "movement" to parrot what's been taught as doctrine in schools for at least 15 years.

And she's right - no one wants to be seen arguing with a kid with Asperger's.

I like how people think we're butthurt over a 16 year old girl's recognition when it's more about being upset she's a fraud, a puppet, and doesn't deserve the praise she is receiving. Having a teen stand in front of global leaders try to "yell" at them was as pathetic as it was humorous.

I'd rather hear about kids like this (though it was from last year) https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180316-four-teenage-inventors-changing-the-world

They're not up on the global stage, acting like a fool for the cameras, putting on a good show for everyone. They're actually making a difference

If I have to be butthurt over anything about it that would be that the Hong Kong Protestors should have won. Because they should have.. but that would upset China.. cough...
