Some might say that individuals likeGreta Thunberg , the adolescent climate militant from Sweden , are one of a kind . Well , then , severalize me what to make ofthis archived imageshowing a Thunberg look - alike in the yr 1898 . If there is only one blessed Thunberg , what the hell is she doing in nineteenth - century Yukon minelaying gold ?
That is , of course , what many are asking after atweetcalling Thunberg a time traveler from the time to come here to save us go viral . And I ’m kinda into it . The similarities are uncanny : They both even rock the key signature Thunberg braid ! And look , Thunberg ’s done a hellhole of a plenty for a 16- year old . She not only helped make“climate strike”and“climate emergency”words of the class , she alsotook this form of dissent globalto help elevate the urgency of the mood crisis . Shewonthe International Children ’s Peace Prize Wednesday , and that comes after aNobel Peace Prize nominationthat she did n’t win — which was for the best — anddeclininganother award last month .

Thunberg is really noteworthy , so who ’s to say she ’s not a prison term traveller ? She handles the climate crisis withmore maturitythan most adults I know . Maybe that ’s no co-occurrence , after all . Shesits before the United Nationswith the sort of cool I still lack at 26 . And she ’s supposed to be 10 yr younger than me ? ! No way . These conspiracy theoriser may be onto something , world . Time - traveling is supposed to delay aging becauseit involves outer space , proper ?
I put together a list of questions for Thunberg if she is , in fact , a 19th - century gold mineworker and clip traveler . Earther will update if this “ teen ” ( yeah , right ) comes back with some response .
So , wait , are you really a teen ?
How does time journey even work ?
Do your parents meter travel with you ?
Are you even still a tiddler ?
Is your sentence - traveling political machine carbon - free ?
How can we conceive anything you say now that we sleep with we ’ve been lie to ? !
Were you actually mine gold in this photo ? Or was it … ember ? ! ?
Coal mining didbegin in this areain the 19th century . Could the photographer have been mistaken ?
on the nose how much ember did you mine , Greta ? !
Okay , let me chill . You ’re a goddamned climate hero . You would n’t be mining ember … unless you still did n’t love it fuel climate change ! Right ?
Speaking of , when did you discover climate change would become the biggest scourge to humanity ?
But , wait , how the fuck did you wind up work in gold mine ? Child labour is a stain on human chronicle , but so is climate modification , so I gauge citizenry have always sucked .
really , have masses always sucked ?
Have you been to the futurity ?
Do we still sop up there ?
Does Twitter still exist ? Please state me no .
Does U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio - Cortez become president ? Please tell me yes .
Can you still journey to the past ?
If so , would you mind visit the 1970s to stop oil companies like Exxon fromhiding their clime scienceandfueling the clime denial machinethat still has the American public brainwashed ?
Please ?
How about going back to thestart of the Industrial Revolutionto let everyone know about the glasshouse core ?
Too far ? How about 2016 to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president of the United States andkillingourclimatepolicies ?
On second thought , do you mind never time - locomote again ? I retrieve the current timeline needs you if we ’re in reality run short to figure out this spate .
