In August 2018,Married Women's Sex Party (2025) Greta Thunberg sat alone outside the Swedish parliament flanked only by a black and white sign which read: "Skolstrejk för klimatet."
Almost a year and a half after her first climate strike, 16-year-old Thunberg has just been named Time magazine's Person of the Year 2019.
The news was announced just as Thunberg addressed a UN climate change summit in Madrid, Spain, and accused world leaders of "creative PR" to evade tangible action on climate change.
"We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow," Thunberg told Timein an interview accompanying the announcement. "That is all we are saying."
That simple statement uttered by the Swedish teenager has proved hugely impactful.
"For decades, researchers and activists have struggled to get world leaders to take the climate threat seriously. But this year, an unlikely teenager somehow got the world's attention," Timemagazine wrote.

Thunberg's lone climate strike in 2018 was the beginning of a global movement.
In the 16 months that followed, Thunberg has inspired young people around the world to join climate protests and on Sept. 20, 2019, 4 million people joined the global climate strike.

"Thunberg is not a leader of any political party or advocacy group. She is neither the first to sound the alarm about the climate crisis nor the most qualified to fix it," Timenotes.
"She is not a scientist or a politician. She has no access to traditional levers of influence: she’s not a billionaire or a princess, a pop star or even an adult. She is an ordinary teenage girl who, in summoning the courage to speak truth to power, became the icon of a generation."
