Greta Thunberg has declined an environmental prize, saying 'the climate movement does not need any more prizes.'
The Nordic Council hands out annual prizes for literature, youth literature, film, music and the environment, each worth 350,000 Danish kroner .Three Norwegian lawmakers nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize this year because they believe"the massive movement Greta has set in motion is a very important peace contribution."
Thunberg notes that flights contribute to global warming, so she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean for two weeks on a zero-emissions sailboat to reach New York. There the Swede scolded a U.N. climate conference in September, repeatedly asking,"How dare you?"
