Greta Thunberg and School Strike for Climate

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 04-04-2019, 03:17 PM

Every Friday, 16 years old Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg skips the lessons at school for one hour until Sweden is in line with the Paris Agreement from mid-December 2015.

This has kicked off an international mass movement and now, thousands of young students around Earth do the same every Friday.

Greta Thunberg is the daughter of Swedish opera singer Malena Ernman. She has convinced her mother to give up the international career because of aviation's impact on the environment.

She is also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Greta Thunberg's activism goes way beyond skipping school but the religious cult known as 'climate change deniers' wouldn't know anything about that.

Disparaging a girl's sacrifice is the hallmark of weakness. Keep your whining out of here, losers. I'll allow your pearl clutching when YOU get news articles written about YOUR PERSONAL efforts to bring about political change.
