Teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg was awarded the 2019 Nordic Council Environment Prize, but she won't be accepting it.

Thunberg said on Instagram on Tuesday that she received the award but declined to accept it because"the climate movement does not need any more awards." The 16-year-old also called on Nordic countries to take more climate action."The Nordic countries have a great reputation around the world when it comes to climate and environmental issues," she said in a written message on Instagram."There is no lack of bragging about this. There is no lack of beautiful words.

Proud of her she's the best in the world

She’s correct. Participation awards are meaningless. Remember that when you try and hand them out, by the millions...

Is he Mercy's PA

Brat

Shes done nothing but flap her gums !!!!

She always looks stoned like the Peoe frog.

orphan

If you brag about getting an award and make sure millions of people know you won it, it's pretty much the same thing as accepting it. The physical object is kind of meaningless.

She would have taken that underserved Nobel prize though.

we get a the joke, you mock her for being autistic, sad

Wow! If only you could “fix” the climate with virtue signaling!!!

This is her

Was her plan to deny the Nobel too?

This girl is amazing.

she looks like a potato

'I'll take it.' - Donald J. Trump

Finally, something I can agree with her on!

And just like that, our queen ended global warming.

She's right... awards are a way to act like you care about issues you are too cowardly to tackle.

Is she autistic? Asking for a friend

💯👏👏

How much are people willing to give up to try and achieve their climate utopia? All your electronics, phones, Internet, TVs, movies, synthetics, and fossil fuels have to go.

Brainwashed by liberals!! Hahahahaha

Cindy Sheehan: No longer useful David Hogg: No longer useful Stormy Daniels: No longer useful Christine Blasey Ford: No longer useful Greta Thunberg: Tick tock...

She getting chubby

Good going girl, keep it up! A nice way to lead by example 😄

Global warming is as real as CNN news....fake

Give us a break, she's talkin from her parents views

That's very smart

The climate movement has awards?

She is determined to change the world. That is awesome, keep it up Greta. We love what you're doing for mother Earth

I feel sorry for the grown adults who’s intelligence is so threatened by Greta they have to continue to tear down a SIXTEEN year old girl.

Would she just go home? Annoying little nit...

CNN fakenews Greta

Well done

Dna of George Soros

She is not for Award she is for leaders to work the clean environment.

She’s a real climate activist . I can’t help but applauding her. 👏👏👏👏👏. Keep on going!

not her biggest fan but good for her!

TrueFactsStated 'Seems that when some innocents die All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine Too many cam'ras and not enough food Cause this is what we've seen Driven to tears Driven to tears' ---The Police, 1980

I'm glad she didn't accept because she did nothing compared to what actual environmentalists and scientists do for this issue.

😂🤡

When she know anything about which she speaks I will listen. Until then she is a joke

Plant a tree instead of crying Greata.

Greta aint got time for awards, she busy calling you all out on your shit.

No one cares, she’s a crisis actor

This poor child has been brain washed by her parents and then prostituted as Prophet of Doom

Bueno y esta piuja de MIERD QUE LE PASA llamar la atención con su locura y rareza, que se venda y haga dinero perr

Trump will take the award.

Very nice message.

How dare she, she has stolen then idiocy ,

I see people give her so much flak for her activism, claiming she hadn't done anything important. Mobilizing the masses has always been one of the greatest ways to effect change in the world. She has done that in Europe and other parts of the world, a d for that she has my thanks

She is upset because, she didn't get NOBLE prize... 😅

Why would she needs an obscure award when she has all the global mainstream media attention on her? Congratulations to her, by the way, for garnering the world's attention & for pushing governments & world's leaders to take the grave threat of rapid climate change seriously.

Smart move by your public relations team Go Greta

The award is just a Nordictrack and an iTunes gift card. Will end up in a garage anyway.

Danke Greta . Es wird Zeit das wir unsere Holzknüppel aus dem Keller holen .

Feel sorry for the kids that buy into the whole earth climate crisis scam, someone should tell them the truth

She's on her way to East Africa & China to protest right now right?

How dare you

How dare her!

She was hoping for Nobel 😁😁

Actions will not be taken and stringent measures will not be implemented as long as violating environmental laws generate money to industrialized countries

My 5 year old transgender daughter says she wants to be like Gretta when she grows up 🙏 Gretta is such a great leader 😢

Basically genuine. Aspire.

Nonsense. All nonsense. Bullshit - read world news about it.

I am supposed to listen to her versus scientists who have actually performed studies on climate change? What scientific research has she performed on her own.

Doesn't she want to give back Tesla Model 3?))))

So brave! 🙄

Makes no sense...

How dare you!🤮

Is it just me, or is Greta the female version of Beans from Even Stevens?

What a joke

If I exploit my children can I get them some awards too?

Don't just listen a man say, see what he done. grein

Or she has realised that she has been lied too all this time. She has accepted every other award and even thought she would get a noble

soros backed, parents are abusing her, get back to school or go to china or India and spout your BS.

Virtue signalling at its absolute finest.

she looks older - must be the lighting

Her handlers should be arrested for child abuse and manipulation.

What an angry kid

wow, is she getting fat or its just me thinking shit about this poor lil girl who should be in the school but Al send her travel all over the world in campaing ? Opinion8dKellie

Smart move, smart young lady

Maybe her twin brother will accept it

Meanwhile there’s cities over in Asia and ME that are choking on their air. But yea let’s yell at America, Canada and Nordic States. climatecult

She's a puppet

FireSeanDuffy

Good for her! Now please stop reporting on this annoying overexposed kid or I’m going to puke. I’m all for climate action. I’m fed up with this annoying kid that skips school & stumps like a politician. Plus she gets a pass because she’s a kid. You can’t have it both ways.

More socialist propaganda!!

Focus. She is focus. No side distraction

I don't buy it. The kid is almost too good. People should be frightened. She reminds me of Annabelle.

I love ❤️ this girl 👧 for her courage to fight for the climate preservation round the world 🌎

It will be tragic when this child crashes and burns. Not a question of if but only when.

She needs to start actually acting and get her feet on the ground and act, not talk. Plenty of talking going on!

Stop it.

I mean she seems a little fat... Should she be eating so much food, considering how it affects the environment? Also, she flew to New York to present at the UN... what about those carbon admissions?

Why does she look like 27 years old? Climate Change?

baller

G shit

Well ok now. And still nothing will happen any faster.

..these days everyone and their Mama is a so-called 'activist' or a 'SJW'😂😂..its laughable. They mock the real meaning of that word and those who actually fought/fight for true justice..and not some liberal agenda/narrative😒

This little girl has mental and emotional teenage issues and CNN lauds her as a leader. It doesn’t get any better than that.

Wow she needs to go back to school , she’s a kid and also diagnosed with autism. Her parents should be charged for child abuse . Can’t believe people worship children now . Man made global warming is a scam

Here's my new video, dedicated to the work of Greta Thunberg. 'GO GRETA' is track number 5 from the album EDUCATED GUEST, released, October 27th. Retweet and share it, let's help Greta.

That girl is my fucking hero

Hope all the white kids match her IQ

How insightful this young lady is! We're drowning in awards! Enough already! the ClimateChange movement needs activists, not award-winners! ClimateAction needs people of all beliefs, ages, and nationalities to act together now.

Who?

What a loon. Parents should be locked up

Smug twat

This young lady has more backbone than all those Republican politicians who claim climate change isn’t for real, especially those with blind loyalty to Trump. As Theodore Roosevelt said a long time ago about his president, the backbone of a chocolate eclair.

Visit China and see how far you get!

Then she called out China to do more...cracked a beer and told the crowd to get the hell off her lawn. Just kidding, she was silent about China

Love this girl!

RESPECT YOUNGMINDSRULE

BULLSHIT!!!!

What you loony climate activists don’t understand. That so called new green deal is just a tax, will not change a thing ever!

I feel sorry that this mentally ill girl is being used she has no clue, no facts but she is being exploited sad but he parents are to blame.. she will be mentally fucked up forever.

She’s so confused.

Oh Jesus.... Enough with this kid already. 🙄

🗣️the climate scientist of snowflakes liberals and fake news media. She is a living puppet. Autism Asperger's combined, can't debate, can't focus, can't control emotions, yet she's prodded to speak and say specific things. LoL

Damn that’s admirable

Imagine actually being that guy who tries to bully a 16 year old girl. Disgraceful. You don’t have to agree with her by any means but going out of your way to demean her is just disgusting. We’re meant to be adults. Act like it.

GO HOME!

Does Shampoo hurt the climate

Nothing more than a puppet. Stop the insanity.

She needs to visit China and India bc they are the biggest polluters. She is only here bc she knew we wouldn’t imprison or kill her for being annoying and she came for money.

A black gospel singer's speech was edited to cut remarks on police brutality in America. It wasn't the first time.Gospel singer Kirk Franklin announced his boycott against the Dove Awards and the Trinity Broadcasting Network after the broadcaster censored Franklin's award speech in which he discussed police brutality against the black community mmm He was talking about Atatiana Jefferson where it's pretty clear the officer botched it. It's not like he was talking about Michael Brown where the facts went the other way. This is a crock. Tired of people using the bad actions of a few to demonize an entire class of people. Yes tired of the press and wanna be elites trashing our police and LE due to a few bad apples. Show some respect. See if that works
