"Greta Thunberg is tipped to win the Nobel Peace Prize next week after her angry climate change speech to the UN"

In an odd way this ties together a couple of last week's posts, "Greta Thunberg sings Swedish Death Metal" and "She Should Have Been Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize" about someone who really should have won the prize.

From the Daily Mail, October 3:
  • Bookmakers Ladbrokes believe that Greta Thunberg, 16, is the one to beat 
  • Comes just weeks after she furiously chastised world leaders for state of climate
  • Believed to be nominated for her Fridays for Future protest movement 
  • Nobel yet to decide whether climate definitely contributes to violent conflict 
  • Thunberg won Amnesty International's highest award earlier this month
Experts are cautious, but bookies have tipped teenage climate campaigner Greta Thunberg for the Nobel Peace Prize next week.
Odds from bookmakers such as Ladbrokes suggest the 16-year-old activist is the one to beat for the award, just a week after she launched a furious tirade at international delegates during a UN climate summit.   
The teenager provoked controversy with her angry speech at the UN and was dragged into a Twitter feud with US President Donald Trump
Russian President Vladimir Putin also criticised her yesterday for what he said was a failure to understand the complex modern world.

During her presentation, she roared ferociously at delegates: 'How dare you?! You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing.'
And if you choose to fail us, I say, we will never forgive you,' she added.The 16-year-old also broke down in tears of rage during her verbal onslaught.

She is tipped for the Nobel Peace Prize after launching a school strike that inspired millions to join her 'Fridays for Future' movement. 
The movement implores school-age children to take time off of school to demonstrate and demand action to prevent further climate change....
