Greta Thunberg, the Swedish teenager who became the voice of conscience for a generation facing the climate change emergency, was announced Wednesday as Time magazine's 2019 Person of the Year.
The 16-year-old first hit the headlines for her solo strike against global warming outside Sweden's parliament last year.
The magazine interviewed Thunberg aboard the sailboat that took her from the
United States to Europe after a hectic 11-week North
American trip to several US cities and Canada.
