Last August, when she began her climate strike outside the Swedish parliament, 16-year-old Greta Thunberg was all alone. “I tried to bring people along to join me,” Thunberg recently told Rolling Stone, “but no one was really interested, and so I had to do it by myself.” But around the world, children and teenagers — worried about their future and exasperated by adults’ overwhelming failure to address climate change — soon took notice.
Thousands joined Thunberg, now a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, on Friday, gathering at some 1,600 strike locations in more than 100 countries around the world — Sweden, Germany, the U.K., France, Belgium, Austria, Italy, Finland, Uganda, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, Japan, India — for the School Strike 4 Climate.
**SNIP**
"I started to realize, ‘Wow, I’ve lived in climate change my whole life’ — my earliest memories were of the droughts,” she says. “Our reservoir dried up one time — where we got our water supply. I just started to realize that I’ve always been around this.” She came across a story about Thunberg, read about the speech she gave at the 2018 United Nations COP24 climate conference in Poland and her call to action.

After all dogs and cats are eliminated, school busses should be put on the chopping block.
Will adults realize the democrats are out of control, and their many sins against our children include destroying their educations and using them in political protests?
..just more indoctrination...
GTF out of here.
Give them all a half dozen slaps on the face and then get them jobs at fast food joints.
Who the hell had time fort this nonsense when we were kids?
This global climate change or whatever it’s called this week is a cult and yet it’s accepted as fact with no evidence.
I got 51 years under the belt now. Didn’t think I’d see 50 so everything else is gravy.
They want to destroy the world they’re going to inherit, let them.
I won’t suffer.
“Climate change” (they don’t even know if it’s warming or cooling) is a mechanism (crisis) to gain complete control over the means of production.
These kids are just victims of their lying parents and indoctrination/education system.
Meanwhile, China and India are the major polluters and we exert zero pressure on them to stop.
Stopping the hoards of water sucking illegal immigrants would be the most reasonable solution.
Child abuse.
Just cancel out Friday school...add an hour onto Monday and Tuesday, and do a once a month all-day Saturday course.
Rolling Stone must be desperate.
I have raised or am currently raising six teenagers, and I have one more to go.
As anyone with teenagers knows, this is an idiotic question.
Don't drive them anywhere and don't let them drive.
Cancel family vacations.
Most of these striking kids weren’t learning much of value, anyway.
STEM students can’t strike for long, or they’ll fall behind and fail their courses.
I can’t remember the last time I took the advice of a teenager on anything.
I still remember being one, and although I pretty well had my head screwed on straight, I wasn’t as wise or intelligent as I thought I was. (If I ever doubt that, I just think of my ex-husband; I made THAT choice!)
Brainwashed Ignoramuses on parade
Thunberg, now a nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize ,LOL
How does one fight the climate [weather]?
Take away the kids electronics.
Don't drive them anywhere and don't let them drive.
Cancel family vacations.
What exactly do all those whining about “climate change” think needs to be done to combat it? Are they so ignorant and gullible that they don’t realize the climate is not the same in every corner of the globe, and that in every locality it literally changes from minute to minute? Also that climate has been changing for billions of years? Do they really want to return to the dark ages in hope that might somehow affect global climate by maybe 1% every 10 years?
Murdering them!
