GRETA NEWS !!!
............................
Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize by two Swedish lawmakers, a report said on Monday.
Jens Holm and Hakan Svenneling, members of Sweden’s Left Party, said the 17-year-old Thunberg “has worked hard to make politicians open their eyes to the climate crisis.”
Her work toward “reducing our emissions and complying with the Paris Agreement is therefore also an act of making peace,” they said.
The Paris accord, from which President Trump withdrew the US in June 2017, seeks to combat the rise in global temperatures by reducing emissions.
Thunberg, who has encouraged students to skip school to attend rallies for the environment, has spoken out on the world stage about climate change — including at the United Nations General Assembly last September, at the UN’s annual COP25 climate meeting in Madrid in December and most recently at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“I wonder, what will you tell your children was the reason to fail and leave them facing the climate chaos you knowingly brought upon them?” she mused to the gathering of world business and political leaders in Switzerland last month.
Thunberg, who was named Time magazine’s 2019 “Person of the Year,” was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize last year by three members of Norway’s parliament.
Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed won the 2019 award for negotiating peace with neighboring Eritrea.
Nominations for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize had to be submitted by Feb. 1.

Wet plate photographer Shane Balkowitsch has canceled plans to put up a mural of his portrait of climate activist Greta Thunberg after locals threatened to boycott the business in the building.
Balkowitsch did a 20-minute photo shoot with the then-16-year-old Thunberg in October 2019 when she visited the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in the Dakotas.
The portraits have received quite a bit of attention, and the portrait above, titled “Standing For Us All,” was donated by the photographer to the Library of Congress.
Balkowitsch then came up with the idea of displaying it as a 7-foot-tall mural on the side of a building in downtown Bismarck, North Dakota.
Balkowitsch proposed putting a 7-foot-tall mural of his photo on the side of this building in downtown Bismarck. Photo by Google Street View.
The mural’s proposed appearance and dimensions on the brick wall. Image via KFYR-TV.
Even though the project would have been funded by Balkowitsch himself, it seems many residents weren’t fond of the idea.
After securing permission from the building’s owner and bakery tenant as well as an approval recommendation from the city planning staff, Balkowitsch got the idea featured by local news station KFYR-TV.
The station also shared the story on its Facebook page, but that’s when things started getting contentious.
The Facebook post was soon flooded by North Dakotans expressing displeasure about the planned mural. Most of the 1,200 comments published thus far seem to be critical of the idea.
Other comments mentioned boycotting the business, Brick Oven Bakery, or vandalizing the mural once it was put up. Unwilling to put the business at risk for the mural, Balkowitsch and the bakery quickly withdrew their mural application.
The photographer says that the mural was more about art and history than politics.
“There was no motivation other than install a very important piece of history that was captured here in North Dakota, in Bismarck — but I guess Bismarck doesn’t want it,” Balkowitsch tells The Bismarck Tribune. “I feel for the bakery. I can’t have some business being threatened for my work.
“It’s a picture of a 17-year-old girl; that’s all it is to me. Her message and stuff, that’s her message. As an artist, it’s my duty to capture the history surrounding her, and the fact that she came to North Dakota, and the reservation down at Standing Rock.”

Oh Nut Zone Doug you are becoming MORE ABSURD by the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How FOOLISH OF YOU to mention publicly THAT THERE IS SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC HOSTILITY.....................
JUST TO A PICTURE OF GRUMPY GRETA being displayed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that HOSTILITY LOUDLY IMPLIES SUBSTANTIAL PUBLIC HOSTILITY..........................
TO HER LUNATIC ECONOMIC IDEAS AS WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AS for Troll GRETA being nominated for a PEACE PRIZE..............................
APPARENTLY YOU ARE UNCLEAR ON THE CONCEPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Peace Prize is usually awarded to somebody who bridges political divides.......................
and takes action to REDUCE ANGER AND FRUSTRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALL the Swedish DEMON POSSESSED TROLL HAS DONE IS PISS PEOPLE OFF.........................
with her BIGOTED VISION OF LIE-beral policy that is making life for ordinary people INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While civil service union HOGS and their LIE-beral allies EXPAND THEIR CARBON FOOT PRINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lest you think I jest - consider that at a recent auto show................................
Cadillac displayed a new model ESCALADE that was SO LARGE.........................
IT HAS SPEAKERS IN FRONT AND BACK SEATING AREAS............................
TO MAKE IT EASIER TO HEAR WHAT OTHER PASSENGERS ARE SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The BASE Escalade has a sticker price of OVER $75 grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the long wheel base Escalade starting at $78 grand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who but a HOG or a LIE-beral pays that kind of money for a machine what will be a RUSTED OUT HULK IN TWENTY YEARS???????????????????
I guess that the folks in North Dakota took exception to having a giant portrait of a tantrum throwing hypocrite in their town.
.... Too bad the the MSM can't offer some element of objectivity on this faux climate scientist
Hey Cap...................you must have hit a LIE-beral nerve there.......................
by describing their beloved learning disabled, high school drop out.........................
and clinically depressed Swedish Troll with her demonstrated TOTAL IGNORANCE.............
of economic reality - as some sort of "tantrum throwing hypocrite"........................
since I think we can assume the LARGE number of inane, irrelevant, off topic LIE-beral replies posted after your remark...............
represents a valid guide to LIE-beral outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IN OTHER NEWS - Our idiot Boy and his loser LIE-berals are huddling in conclave..................
trying desperately to think of some way to weasel out of responsibility for the native rail blockades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its like watching bankers trying to blame others for the 2008 economic meltdown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy has now - as of February 17, 2020 - called an emergency meeting to discuss the native rail blockades - and it would be REALLY FUNNY being a fly on the wall - listening to the PANIC in that meeting as LIE-berals discus ways to SAVE THEIR BACKSIDES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to DECADES of LIE-beral coddling of native extremists and assorted other pressure groups - LIE-berals now have a choice between going to war against extremists - or letting the country be entirely CONTROLLED by extremists!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to decades of twisted, double dealing policy Canada is at war with itself!!!!!!!!!!!
Even worse- LIE-berals are at war with thier own supporters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are thousands of “environmentalists” who expected LIE-berals to live up to their promise to KILL the entire Cdn oil patch - AND expected them to KILL any new pipe lines such as the Northern Gateway natural gas line or the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals DO NOT wish to lose those environmental and native votes to NDPees or Greenies!
Ontari-owe voters have a SUBSTANTIAL appetite for Cdn oil and for various products shipped by rail - and eastern Canada has a GREAT NEED for propane and other supplies being shipped by rail and MANY CDNS DEMAND that LIE-berals resolve this rail mess before critical supplies RUN OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can LIE-beals rein in native radicals by jailing those who ignore court orders????????????
Can LIE-berals AFFORD to let the rule of the majority to ENDED by letting a radial FEW BULLY the elected chiefs of native groups??????????????
Can LIE-berals afford to act on their first impulse - and simply try to TALK this issue to death - the economy falters - while LIE-berals wait in PATHETIC HOPE we will all lose interest and simply move on?????????????
Can LIE-berals afford to let a radical minority HOLD THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO RANSOM and to GET AWAY WITH IT?????????????????
IF native radicals win what they want this time - what is to prevent an endless NEW ROUND
of protests and blockades at future times of controversy and social crisis????????????
And if blocking roads works for natives - why would it not work for other radicals such as the ANTI WHITE Black Lives Matter racists?????????????????
It looks as if LIE-berals are setting us up for a HUGE WAVE OF NEW PROTESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our economy operates on oil and will do so for the forseeable future as there is no viable alternative available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals PRETEND that electrical TOYS are an option but they COST DOUBLE that of a gas powered machine and do not last as long in service!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In addition - Cdn electrical generaltion is NOT as green as claimed - it is the usual LIE-beral Fake News to claim nuclear power is “Zero emission” while IGNORING the vast amounts of concrete needed to build bunkers in which to BURY nuclear waste -everything from used Haz-Mat suits to contaminated wrenches to endless barrels of Tritium coolant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIE-berals tell us that we need to ban AR 15 Rifles in order to reduce crime rates - but NONE of the gang bangers on the news use Rifles!!!
On the other hand - radical natives HAVE LOTS OF FIRE ARMS - which they have frequently brandished at other blockades - one has to wonder if LIE-berals now REGRET not forcing natives to register their guns since Cdn cops may end up facing those guns????????????
Especially since so many of the native thieves prowling on white owned farms ARE ARMED!!
In other news - Cdn cops have become VERY WARY of acting on govt orders to use force to clean out native protestors -since LIE-berals are so quick - after the fact to blame cops for excessive force!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One has only to think back to the “Controversy” over the death of native activist Dudley George - shot by an OPP sniper while he was with ARMED NATIVE PROTESTORS AT IPPERWASH!!!!!!
Or we could look to the Oka crisis in which the army had to be called in because the native protestors WERE MORE NUMEROUS AND MORE HEAVILY ARMED than Quebec Provincial Police!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
During the civil service union HOG blockade of Queens Park during the Mike Harris years - Toronto Police REFUSED to clear the protestors and let politicians into the building - and Harris was forced to call on OPP to do the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So given the relationship between LIE-berals and RCMP - do the Mounties have the numbers to clear all the blockades and will the Mounties be WILLING to do the LIE-beral DIRTY WORK in the first place????????????????
Or will LIE-berals be forced to call in the army????????????
The native mess and its FAILED LIE-beral support policy are ONGOING and will require SUBSTANTIAL GOVT RESOLVE to end it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With the current reputation of the LIE-beral party and its future survival hanging very precariously in the balance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our idiot Boy has wandered a LONG WAY OFF his Sunny Ways!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
