GeorgeJane17 This kid is nothing but a fraud.
LECrockett I don't agree with her message. But she has great passion.
You Go Girl!
ViolettaLagreca Sad. what has she done for anybody?
wasn't she pretty clear on not wanting accolades like this? that they're a distraction from real action?
For what? Time is a joke.
This is exactly what she said she didn’t want.
She didn't want this
Awesome, but don't just honor her with empty gestures - fix the mess her generation has inherited.
Like the call for: 'A Balance of Outrage and Optimism '
y’all in the replies need to calm down, shes a Child. are u rly that threatened by a child? losers.
She deserves it🐔
Literally doing what she said not to
mvbrat91 It's a shame it doesn't matter how much she is honoured, world governments are still ignoring the issue she represents.
TeAcheJota Hitler was also a named time magazine person of the year...
HOW STUPID naming this kid as person of the year!!! How Dare You!! LOL
Guando os adultos nao agem o menos faz com que possa resolver os problemas que ocorre!. Isso torna-se feio para adulto, que deixa o menor agir para o bem de todos, eu acho que ela fez total necessidades entre todos, dou meus parabens para jovem que fez o que fez.
technically i was person of the year when i was 16
From the same magazine who chose Hitler as their man of the year. Who buys this trash?
that 's the reason why the HKers protestor lose...
Yes let's see a real climate debate from this 'Person of the year'. One that does not rely on fudged data. Surely she has not been awarded 'Person of the year' for merely being a face & hollow vassal for the propaganda purposes of the ClimateCult pitmasters? Outsiders
I thought Time was out of business
Why?
Well that’s no so bad. Remember Obama got a Nobel Peace Prize for just being Obama.
Almost as good as a Nobel Peace Prize.
Incorrect; I was fourteen (14) years old in 2006, when TIME Magazine named me as part of the collective 'You.' as Person of the Year.
It isn’t an honor. It is not something Thunberg sought, in fact, she has spoken about how much she wants coverage focused on the Science. Time is deliberately missing the point.
(even more today!) immeasurably happy and proud to be among the only abt 1,800 followed by the Swedish FearlessGirl who is now followed by nearly 3.2 million climatestrike fridaysforfuture IstandwithGreta till the end 💪🌏💚 🖐
Just a reminder that Willis Carrier already solved global warming for us ..... ... in the early 1900’s.
'Time Magazine's Puppet of the Year'
Out of the mouths of babes! If only our country could put politics, greed, power & agendas aside...we could solve so many critical issues! Thank you Greta Thunberg for stepping up to the plate. Adults that argue climate change is not real, deserve a ‘time out’!
Even respectable magazines are turning into clickbait thrash lately, grasping for sells and clickbait 'sensations' like all dying media do today. Virtue signalling does not equal to action, especially coming from 16 year old. Climat is the issue today, bot so is hypocricy
So just give her awards and not do a damn thing, just like what she predicted? Of course
I'll make sure to rev my gas guzzling Mustang GT a few times in her honor!
This is why I do not read Tme.... ridiculous... nothing worse than a pretentious teen who thinks they know it all....
A little kid leads the world.
I was younger when I was named person of the year back in ‘06.
Excellent choice.
Long as you have a strong will and take action, nothing can stop you. Not even your own age. Congrats to Greta!
MindyLubber realDonaldTrump must be green with envy.... the only time I will use 'green' and 'Trump' in the same sentence!
This is not about climate change believer or denier. This is about giving credit to a false prophet little girl who knows nothing about climate other that what her handlers told her.
Well done Greta! Keep it up!
Is this a joke? Whine on TV for a couple days and boom.
raagatodi
Right along with Hitler, Stalin, and Putin. Congrats.
They felt so threatened?!
time honored hitler in 1938... who cares.
Claire Time 2019 = FAKE NEWS
I believe in science,climate change, and the cyclical changes not associated with man made greenhouse gases simultaneously.This phenomenon”greta”is bit manipulative tho,it’s forcing a false narrative about the USA that damages UN credibility towards developing nations
Congratulations GretaThunberg well deserved. I believe scientists not a lunatic in the WH realDonaldTrump
POTYSoWhite
You know Mina Chang is jealous.
Well deserved!
A fantastic opportunity for GretaThunberg to arrange a debate with some prominent climate skeptics, and thus discredit us and prove her point to the world. I'm ready to go anytime, and would love to see NPR sponsor it.
Stupid
Congratulations to GretaThunberg ! Hong Kongers stand with the Future of our Earth, our home! Did you know the greatest polluter is China? We're doing our part, will you join us? Say NO to 'Made in China', say YES to Mother Earth! AntiChinazi
Says left wing LIBERAL publication!!!!!! What a joke bout like saying Nancy Pelosi most admired woman in America!!!!! LIBERAL PROPAGANDA!!!WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!
Good for her! I hope she stands as an example to that generation, & that her capacity to care for others & our environment become a model, in some way, for other dedicated young people
What did she do?
bibacus Because of people like Greta, Malala and the Parkland activists, maybe the future political leaders will be a lot better than our present ones who are in hock to Russia and bent on destroying our country..
Thank you, I am honored
realDonaldTrump is gonna be jealous!!
Poor choice. It's supposed to be the person who was the biggest force driving the news. Kudos to Greta but it should have been Putin or Trump.
I love watching some folks heads explode over this. It is highly entertaining. I'm making popcorn. 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations to Greta! Hong Kongers stand with the Future of our Earth, our home! Did you know the greatest polluter is China? We're doing our part, will you join us? Say NO to 'Made in China', say YES to Mother Earth!
Person of the year For what? For reading a speech her parents wrote and taking a free cruise on a million dollar yacht the didn’t cost her a dime? I would think that even the most wacko leftist could come up with a long list of people more deserving than her.
Cool. Guess that means Trump will make another fake copy of him to hang at his bug infested resorts.
There are probably younger people in Hong Kong giving their lives in the fight for freedom...but why would Time bother to look at any of those people?
TIME BRAVO. There was no other logical choice.
I am a skeptic, but it's not even that the award went to a global warming spokesperson. They allow a girl to virtually drop out of school, exploit her in front of the world to talk about a subject she knows nothing about...only the fear that has been instilled into her young mind
Congratulations GretaThunberg! Please help us to fight against the biggest polluter of the world: China！
TimePersonOfTheYear
I bet this pisses the orange gremlin right the hell off. Ha! 🤣
Hopefully they will honor more young people in such a way. I’m 8 years older than her and I’m still expected to bring coffee. Fortunately, I’ve not shared their assessment.
Maybe she can get the point across to the guy in the White House. Clearly a twelve year old sees the future for us all better then the one who’s denying it to fill his own pockets.
Just when it didn't seem possible for Time magazine to further degrade itself, they do exactly that.
Congratulations to Greta! Hong Kongers stand with the Future of our Earth, our home! Did you know the greatest polluter is China? We're doing our part, will you join us? Say NO to 'Made in China', say YES to Mother Earth!
I would've gone for Baby Yoda, personally.
I’m sure Trump will be furious. Love it.
A big congregation from HongKongProtesters . GretaThunberg has truly shown that world about the power of the youth. ❤️❤️Love from Hong Kong
disgusting and pathetic.
Yes!
Plain stupid choice!
How salty is realDonaldTrump right now? 🤣
Really, not Trump? He is going to react poorly to this.
Now the fame as a child will screw her up and we’ll find her as an adult with major issues for the rest of her life. Kids need to be kids. Exploit much
KathleenFOX5 Puppet
全球保護地球！向中國說不！ Congratulations to Greta! Hong Kongers stand with the Future of our Earth, our home! Did you know the greatest polluter is China? We're doing our part, will you join us? Say NO to 'Made in China', say YES to Mother Earth!
This is an honor of no worth. The protesters of Hong Kong are more worthy
I think it's good.()
Remember these notable Person(s) of the Year? Time always selects progressive socialists/communist authoritarians that are celebrated by the littéraire and whom are looking to control the masses. This is no surprise and no big deal.
Follow me
She's an important person in this time line of ours. Congratulations to Greta and a little bit of light for the rest of us... even the haters.
GretaThunberg congrats! earth is sick seriously! All ppl should stop pollution and wasting! As a HKer, I have seen super pollution everywhere in China. Specially water pollution. Lets stop buying the Made in China stuff! Save the world! sanctionChina
The Cassandra for our times. She speaks truth to power about a disaster that will change the planet (& affect all living things) but hardly anyone in power will listen. We will regret the day when she was called names, belittled for her age/gender, with her warning disregarded.
She looks like a cast member of Children of the Corn.
shoghicp She's new to my ears... what did she do exactly to deserve this award?
Strictly speaking the computer was younger when it won in 1982
Well-deserved even though she doesn’t need yet another title or award.
Well done Greta. Keep it up!!
TIME Its not about a solution... its about money...
FakeNews
Heeeere come the Trumpers ....
How TIME picks their person of the year doesn’t really ever make since. TIMEPersonoftheYear2019 should really be someone else
Greta Thunberg is on the autism spectrum. These children & others with disabilities such as dyslexia, & adhd, are being marginalized in public schools. IDEA must be fully funded & enforced with greater accountability, & more teacher training in neurodiversity. moms4FAPE
Sancta Virgo falsa ecclesiae climatologiae; clama pro nobis. Ipseprotectrix terrae naturae; mone pro nobis. Gallina sine caputem; odi pro nobis. Oremus clamaremusque omnes cum Te; O quomodo vos audite!
Get this little brat back in school. She has been used by her parent to raise money as they refuse to look for employment.
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
The climate change grifters paid time off
Climate deniers going to have conniptions.
wjxt4 found this for you
Wait!!! It's not Bruce Jenner? Greta isn't even brown!!! How can she win? What has she done?
How dare you
Does TIME Magazine still exist? Who knew?
What has she actually done? Nothing. Time is nothing but a joke anymore. Same with the rest of mainstream media.
Does GretaThunberg Deserve To Be TIMEPersonoftheYear2019?
Colossal
Time magazine hungry for that China money.
Wow! She's 16! She looks like a 12 year old
there is only one reason President Trump has not made Man of the Year for the past 3 years Cry-Baby liberal agenda
Congrats to her promoter, soros!
Carefully stage managed by Soros and UN leftists, this misguided teen travels the world screaming that her future has been stolen. This 'person of the year' award is more a comment on how far Time has fallen than it is on this kid.
It's so funny to see old people who basically destroyed the planet for greed telling that girl who will really live with the consequences telling her to shutup because there's still a dollar to earn and they will be dead when it finally will be inhabitable. Shameless Gollums.
Wow! Time publication has sunk, & how. I know of a tribal lady who has spent a lifetime in conservation & educating backward communities about environment & human-animal conflicts. A lifetime!
Very poor choice - that youngster didn't accomplish much 🤔 on second thought a very fine choice for that goofball Time Magazine
This kid need new parents, she has no life.
So, TIME joined the ranks of the preposterous. May St. Geta bless you and absolve you of your climate-sins. GretaThurnberg climateprotest ClimateChange ClimateEmergency
The question should be did the Hong Kong protesters not get person of the year because Time didnt want to tick off China? From being a regular reader of Time china does multiple page advertisements on a regular basis in Time. What share of their worldwide circulation is in china
But can she ever recover from her 'stolen' childhood? climatehoax
realDonaldTrump Suck it.
I'm certain the conservatives who took the quote about Barron out of context to defend the honor of a child will be measured in their responses to this news
IT'S NOT AN HONOR!!! Or so you hacks lectured us when you-know-who was named it. Absolutely no standards. No core. No facts. No morals.
Red Alert to Deplorable Nation! Teenage girl threatens your manhood! Insult and spit at her, quick!
Gross! Today we learn MSM condones parental manipulation and brainwashing. It's called CHILD ABUSE! It's beyond unacceptable and a disgrace.
1. Awesome 2. DJT who must be having an especially bad morning.
Millions don’t care what Time Magazine says. Millions don’t care what NPR says. Your narratives don’t work anymore.
Beating out Hong Kong protesters?
Trump supporters are gonna be so mad ahahaha
I didn’t realize that Time was still in publication.
Isn't it interesting that many of the 'solutions' to climate change just so happen to be exactly the social programs progressives have always wanted. This existential threat just so happened to fall in their laps. Way too convenient. More about socialism versus climate change.
lmao
We need to listen to our young people. They are our hope and inspiration. Congratulations to GretaThunberg
Not bad for 'a brat'. I'm guessing 'burn, baby, burn' Bolsonaro wasn't even on the short list.
Clown show. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ClimateJustice
He was man of the year once Soooooo there's that!
For all those thinking of bashing her, remember your outrage over the very mention of Barron Trump's name. 'How dare they bring up the name of a minor!!'
Of course she has
Congratulations GretaThunberg 🍾🎉🎈
Just waiting for all of the conservative snowflakes to lose their mind

NPR Choice pageit's incredible how the employer needs to accommodate the employees and it's not the employees that need to be productive to earn their salaries and job... y do we still discrimnate against women? They make up 52% of the population. They willingly push a 8 lb living objext out of their body and then let that object destroy their boddie for several months. I give it up 2 women. U need more time off w/ ur babies n less shit from men This is create mix feelings. Cause woman should have these rights. But at the same time that unfair treatment to the males since do they get paid time off when they have children.

NPR Choice pageSo it turns out quid pro quo and bribery actually require evidence, so the dozens of articles outlining these offenses as the reason for impeachment need to be ignored and completely forgotten, similar to the 2 years of the manufactured Russian collusion stories. If DT wins re-election and the senate flips in 2020 he would be retried for his crimes and be convicted, double jeopardy does not apply under impeachment as it does in our judicial system; and he would be removed from office then. Yawn... In other words, big orange man bad. LMFAO
