It is hard to believe that Greta Thunberg is only 22 years old.

There aren’t too many individuals who have packed so much into their existence at a very short time.

We knew absolutely nothing about Anne Frank during her lifetime and her diaries only got published after she had been killed by the Nazis, during the holocaust.

But with the Swedish activist, we have been able to chart her life’s story since she came to international consciousness, when she protested in front of her country’s parliament in 2018.

In taking her message of taking climate change emergencies extremely seriously to the European Union and United Nations’ hallowed chambers, she made this hot-button subject quite sexy and created generation of young people who made the adults in the room accountable for their greed and short-sightedness.

Her stunning success won her friends and some very powerful enemies, with the likes of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, lining up to disparage her looks and manner of speaking, but she’s never been swayed by those vile men, who were friends with convicted sex abusers and traffickers.
