16-year-old climate activist nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, 16, was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize on Wednesday for her tireless work combating global warming.
After Sweden had its hottest summer on record, Thunberg went on strike in August to force politicians to act. She has since inspired hundreds of thousands to do the same, creating the #FridaysForFuture movement, which has enlisted thousands of young people to skip school this Friday to march for policy action on environmental issues.

Nothing has happened, that is crucial to remember.”
