Swedish teen who started by protesting in from of the Swedish parliament for action against climate change now is the major attraction for media around the world. Time like every year selects one of the most influencing person in the year as Time's person of the year.


Seeing this post I wonder where has she vanished now. I guess she was a deserving candidate to be nominated by times magazine as person of the year. She was very viral and effective with her speeches, especially "How dare you!". At a very young age , she was able to reach to UN and brought attention to very important topic of climate change. I did notice a shift in attitude of nations , organizations and even individual and they saw sustainability and recycling as important and duty.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been campaigning and has brought awareness to Climate Change for a very long time before this girl came out and started criticizing leaders about them doing nothing with regards to Climate Change. Apart from her protests I didn't see her do anything to help like planting trees which is proven to reduce carbon emissions.

Since a 16 year old worked so well, what do you say we try a 12 year old scolding the UN next? Or we could go straight to the shrieking babies?
