16-year-old Greta Thunberg is Time Magazine's youngest-ever "Person of the Year" (Credit: Photo: Time/Screengrab)

Time Inc.'s "Person of the Year" tradition began in 1927, when the magazine commemorated 25-year-old aviator Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Though the media franchise has since recognized several young people for their global influence, it has never given the important distinction to a teenager. But then again, few teens are as passionate about their mission as 2019's "Person of The Year"— 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg.

    look the problem is china is not gonna stop and nobody can tell me otherwise, it is just the fact of the matter. If we all slow down and cannot stop china than china is the most powerful and could literally take over the world. I am not kidding if you tax cars and foods than everything just gets worse for the economy and our safety.

      Also, I just wanted to say China is our biggest ''climate change threat''. People literally have to walk around in masks.
