Teen climate change activist Greta Thunberg has been named the 2019 TIME Person of the Year, becoming the youngest figure to receive the distinction in its 92-year history.

The 16-year-old from Sweden has become a prominent face in the fight to save the environment from the effects of climate change.

The magazine revealed its choice on TODAY Wednesday, making Thunberg the youngest selection since TIME began naming a Person of the Year in 1927. The Person of the Year title is not necessarily an honor or award, but representative of the influence the person has had on the news within the past year.

If she’s just a “teenager with Asperger’s Syndrome”, maybe she’s not the one we should let tell us how to remake the world’s economic system?

Y’all need to decide if she’s some pioneer super genius or a special needs child who should be handled with kid gloves. Can’t be both.

I think the Hong Kong protesters should have been name. Time is a sad, sad, joke.
