Greta Thunberg is being hotly tipped to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

The young environmental campaigner is now the bookies' favourite to pick up the prestigious award next week, with Ladbrokes citing odds of 4/6 for her to win - ahead of national treasure David Attenborough and Pope Francis.

According to the bookmaker, the 16-year-old is ahead of the rest of the pack after her rousing speech at the UN conference last month which led to her being praised by many.

During the emotional address, Thunberg condemned world leaders for not doing enough to combat climate change and protect the planet.

She said: "This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you?

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words, yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering, people are dying, entire ecosystems are collapsing.

"And if you choose to fail us, I say, we will never forgive you."

Over the past year, Thunberg has become an iconic figure of the fight against climate change, with millions inspired by her weekly protests outside the Swedish parliament a year ago.

Her message encouraged millions of people around the world to march on the streets last month and demand that governments take action before it is too late.
However, not everyone took her message or speech as well as others, with some of the world's most powerful leaders hitting out at the campaigner for not understanding how 'complex' the world really is.

Only yesterday, Russian president Vladimir Putin said she was being 'used'.

Chairing a session called Energy Partnership for Sustainable Growth, he said: "I may disappoint you but I don't share the common excitement about the speech by Greta Thunberg.

"No one has explained to Greta that the modern world is complex and different and... people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same wealth level as in Sweden.

"Go and explain to developing countries why they should continue living in poverty and not be like Sweden."

He added: "But when someone is using children and teenagers in personal interests, it only deserves to be condemned.

"I'm sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl. But adults must do everything not to bring teenagers and children into some extreme situations."

Putin isn't the first world leader to slate the young campaigner for her words. Donald Trump mocked her while Canadian Member of Parliament Maxime Bernier claimed she was alarmist and mentally unstable.

But Thunberg hasn't taken the criticism lying down and has said she believes the fact leaders are making light of the situation, adding that politicians poking fun at children showed that her message had become 'too loud to handle'.

The full list of Ladbrokes' runners and rider are as follows - Greta Thunberg (4/6), Abiy Ahmed (4/1), Raoni Metuktire (6/1), Jacinda Ardern (8/1), Reporters Without Borders (12/1), UNHCR (12/1), Control Arms Coalition (20/1), David Attenborough (20/1), Edward Snowden (20/1), Pope Francis (20/1), International Rescue Committee (20/1).

The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize is announced on 11 October.

Yes, advanced western countries are full of tree-hugging liberal lunatics. Civilisation is going backwards because of them.

Conversations from my WhatsApp

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] Excellent response from a journalist from SkyNews Australia to young people who recently demonstrated for the climate:
"You are the first generation that has demanded air conditioning in every room; your lessons are all done on the computer; you have a TV in every room; spend the whole day using electronic means; instead of walking to school take a fleet of private vehicles that clog the public streets; you are the largest consumer of consumer goods in history, continually buying the most expensive clothing to be "trendy"; your protest is advertised by digital and electronic means.
"Guys, before protesting, turn off the air conditioning, go to school on foot, turn off your phones and read a book, make yourself a sandwich instead of buying packaged food.
"None of this will happen, because you are selfish, ill-educated, manipulated by people who use you, claiming to have a noble cause while you enjoy the wildest Western luxury. Wake up, mature and close your mouth. Inform yourself of the facts before protesting ”.

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] dear friend, my response to that journalist is:

Well, with that logic, only Amazonian tribes, New Guinean tribes, the most primitive peoples' on Earth need apply to "Protest global warming".
I got news for ya: WE are All fucking guilty of contributing to climate change.
The question is, & ALWAYS, has been:
What & When are we going to DO Something about it, fuck the hypocrisy angle because ALL of us are guilty of it, you, me, they, them, my parents, your parents, US Humans, we all are IN THE SAME FUCKING BOAT!

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] I sent that out because his observations regarding air conditioning in every room; lessons done on the computer; TV in every room; spending the whole day using electronic means; taking private vehicles that clog the public streets; consuming consumer goods; buying expensive trendy clothing and advertising protest by digital and electronic means seems quite apt. It seems to me to be counterintuitive to protest against other people doing things that you do yourself.

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] Yes, I understand, this isn't personal. The long & short of this is: NONE of us can be perfectly free of any of these modern activities, not even that journalist. I mean, c'mon! The boat is leaking a hole; do we say, oh, it's on your side, so you should scoop the water out, not me...
It's insane. Stop this train, I want to get off!
Folks, we're all in this together, whether we like it or not, regardless who is to blame.

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] But then, following that line of argument, WHO can throw stones in debating climate change??? I argue that NO one can. We are all guilty. & I don't own a car, nor a tv (that uses electricity). But I fart. & eat meat. That produces methane, a worse source of global warming than CO2. Everybody's guilty. No one's pure. Where do we BEGIN to stop the insanity? We won't live to see the most dire consequences. But should we shut the fuck up & do nothing? Frankly, I'm OK with that, if that's your choice. But, for those who choose to speak up & do something about it, the hypocrisy angle is pointless, IMHO.

[6:46 PM, 10/4/2019] from me : All of us. I seen the enemy. They are us! We the worse enemy. Everything we want more and cheaper and Earth pay . We only pay the bills. Our kids and grand kids will pay the final price.
While some of us may laugh and mock Greta. She got the right to be very angry. It will be her and her generation and those after that will pay the final price
