Teen climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for a second year in a row.

According to The Associated Press, two lawmakers from Sweden, Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, announced they had nominated the teen on Monday, citing her climate activism.

The two lawmakers said the 17-year-old “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis,” adding that “action for reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” the news agency reports.

According to the AP, the deadline to submit nominations for the prestigious honor was Sunday.

5. He'll use this today

By putting out something to use for distraction . Why, because he really could care less about her but wants all attention towards his lies focusing on him. Anything away from his crimes and corruption , and his lies. He's just using her and the media to manipulate us with it.

He's going to be sooooo jealous! I love it!

17. So let's turn it around. Point out to them "Look what an activist with autism

can do to help the world, while you claim to be normal and at best, you do nothing. Your nothing is helping destroy the planet and all life on it."

"So get your ass in gear and catch up to Greta, before it's too late."

18. Alas! They are not interested to "help the world". Help Trump is their only concern.

20. Psychologically, you allude to an autustic teen being smarter,

more responsible and better organized than these white-collar schmucks.

21. I cannot go that deep into the analysis. I'll just chalk it up to her/their attitudes
