Climate activism made Greta Thunberg ‘very happy’, says her father
Greta Thunberg was nominated for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, after spearheading the global movement, which also led to co-ordinated school strikes across the globe.

The report measured the preparedness of world's 82 largest economies and found that based on current trends the fallout of warming temperatures would shave off three percent of global GDP by 2050.
The report says few countries are likely to suffer from the health effects of climate change as much as India, with its huge population and high rates of healthcare inequality, poverty, and malnutrition.
Thunberg stressed that while the award would be 'a recognition for this movement,' she and her supporters weren't 'doing this to get awards and prizes.'
They are demanding politicians and businesses to take drastic action needed to stop global warming, which scientists warn will lead to environmental catastrophe under current trends.
While children across the world are joining the movement, much to the chagrin of the paternalistic class, some dismissing the protest as cute and others deriding it as undisciplined, it has not quite caught on in India, where children are amongst the worst victims of environmental degradation.
