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.

    Gosh, I hated when people were claiming she was too young, and too female to understand what she was talking about. As if that matters. She went up there and said what needed to be said! People are ruining our Earth, and leaving it up to children to fix it. Congratulations Greta!

        She is inspiring so many people it's amazing! But she's not the only person on board, like, a group of college students may have discovered a bacteria that MAY eat PLASTIC.

            She is right about all of this. If people just open there eyes to notice the dangers of things like this then they would know that this teenager could even probably be saving the world instead of just sitting back and watching everyone rush around and just make it worse. Of course we don't mean to do it do we? She's showing its good notice these things.
