Greta Thunberg leader of a worldwide revolution for climate change

"The real power belongs to the people" has earned a nomination to the Nobel Peace Prize

16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg explains why, in August 2018, she walked out of school and organized a strike to raise awareness of global warming, protesting outside the Swedish parliament and grabbing the world’s attention. Her sentences have now become famous, this is her story.

You’d be thinking our media and every one of our leaders and politicians would be talking about climate change. But they don’t even mention it, it’s been ignored for a long time and it will continue. And this is the tipping point and pain of Greta Thunberg.

This is why the power has to go back to the people. “The power is the people” as the bow nominated Nobel prize Greta Thunberg says!

So how it all happened is that Greta Thunberg began a solo protest in Sweden in August by missing school every Friday and standing outside the Swedish parliament. More colleagues of her started to join until it grabbed the world’s attention. To the point that Thunberg has since inspired students around the globe.

While some politicians have opposed the school strikes, many have supported them, including Germany’s Angela Merkel and Ireland’s Leo Varadkar. The mayors of Paris, Milan, Sydney, Austin, Philadelphia, Portland, Oslo, Barcelona and Montreal added their backing on Thursday.
