16 years old Greta Thunberg named Times 2019 person of the year

16 years old climate activist Greta Thunberg has been named Times Magazine person of the year 2019.

Greta Thunberg named Young person of the year 2019

The magazine announced 16-year old Thunberg as its preferred choice on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.

Time editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal speaking to “TODAY.” said

“She became the biggest voice on the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement,”

He also revealed that Thunberg is the magazine’s youngest choice ever to be named Person of the Year.

The 16-year-old Swedish teen who became a global voice for climate change and environmental activism inspired the school strikes for the climate movement.

For over a year, her movement has drawn large crowds with her appearances at protests and conferences around the world.

Thunberg, was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at a young age, heard about climate change at 8 years old.

She gave up eating meat and traveling via airplanes, among other things, just to reduce her carbon footprint.

“I remember thinking that it was very strange that humans that are an animal species, among others, could be capable of changing the Earth’s climate,” she said during a 2018 Ted Talk.
