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.

        Wow. This is inspirational. This is girl is 16? She is so right. By the time kids grow up, they will already be doomed to global climate change- something they can't change. We have to take action now. She proves a valid point in saying we are so close to 2020. This will be a year for the books, determining our future. Good job Greta!

        You get it, Greta! You have opened our eyes to show how our world is in danger and I am very thankful for that. Those horrible people all just want money but... we make money from trees and if we don't have trees, we won't have money. Anyways, your an inspiration to all of us and keep on doing it! Change the world into a better place.

              She is so inspirational! We really need to do something about climate change, we kids don't have power that adults have so we need to get adults to come to their senses.

                    I also think climate change is important just like Greta Thumberg. It might damage our environment if we don’t do anything about it. If this world is saved, it’s thanks to Greta.
