    Born in Stockholm, Sweden
    Climate change activist
    Daughter of actor Svante Thunberg and opera singer Malena Ernman

Why she might be annoying:

    Her middle name is 'Tintin'.
    She is a vegetarian, and also pushed her parents into becoming vegetarians to reduce their carbon footprint.
    She has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
    She often had to skip classes in order to engage in her activism.
    Instead of flying on an airplane (she refuses to fly except in case of emergency), she sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a yacht to attend climate action conferences.
    Critics often accuse her of being a pawn of liberal organizations, and that her youth and neurological disorders are being exploited to gain sympathy.

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is on the autism spectrum.
    She has dealt with constant ad-hominem attacks and bullying from many conservative politicians, pundits and other critics on the internet.
    Arnold Schwarzenegger lent her one of his electric cars during her time in America.
    She received numerous honors and awards for her activism.
    She has inspired a following of young people to pursue action against climate change (this would be called the 'Greta Thunberg effect').
