For what, exactly? I don't know much about her except the memes. Also curious if it's just going to be a publicity stunt like Obama's was.

Actually nevermind, saw some rather... dubious names on the list of past winners so it's a joke Award nowadays so it doesn't matter.

It has been for a while. It's basically just a "feel-good" award at this point.

Heat makes people angry. Ever been outside in 100+ degree weather? People get cranky.

What a wild world we live in where you can be nominated simply for standing behind Donald Trump and pretending to look angry.

So is there any way to quantify what positive effect on the environment she has actually had? I mean, have any protests accomplished any real change?

What are her goals exactly with climate change?

I just get the idea that she gives fiery speeches. Is there more to it?

As I said in another topic, nominations for them are pointless as literally thousands of people have nominating abilities.

George W. Bush got nominated almost every year of his presidency, for instance.

Its a sad day when the Nobel Peace Prize becomes so irrelevant that a pouting child who has not actually done anything wins it.

Obama winning it might have been questionable but if this child wins it for doing nothing its the new participation trophy.

So what exactly has this world wide attention accomplished for the environment? I get that she is now famous, but how can we quantify the positive effect this may be having for the environment?
