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.

Nothing has happened, that is crucial to remember.”
