A
photo taken during the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush in Yukon, Canada features a
child that so closely resembles the world renowned climate campaigner that some
Twitter users initially dismissed it as a fake.
But
the 120-year-old photo was sourced to the University of
Washington's Special Collections archive, leading many to jokingly conclude
that Thunberg is a time traveler who arrived in 2019 to warn the world about
the planetary climate crisis.
Thunberg, whose activism sparked a global youth-led climate movement, is currently sailing across the Atlantic after spending more than two months in the United States.
"We
had to slow the boat down to avoid some really rough weather ahead, but now
we're back on track at full speed," Thunberg tweeted Thursday.
"Hopefully we will arrive in Lisbon, Portugal, sometime in early December."
"Hopefully we will arrive in Lisbon, Portugal, sometime in early December."
So
we know what continent she's headed to now. The only serious question left to
consider is this: Will she arrive in time?
