Civil society groups have pledged growing international protests to drive rapid action on global warming after the UN climate summit in Poland.
The summit agreed rules for implementing the 2015 Paris agreement, which aims to keep global warming as close to 1.5C as possible, but it made little progress in increasing governments’ commitments to cut emissions. The world remains on track for 3C of warming, which scientists says will bring catastrophic extreme weather.
May Boeve, the executive director of the 350.org climate change campaign group, said: “Hope now rests on the shoulders of the many people who are rising to take action: the inspiring children who started an unprecedented wave of strikes in schools to support a fossil-free future; the 1,000-plus institutions that committed to pull their money out of coal, oil, and gas, and the many communities worldwide who keep resisting fossil fuel development.”
The school strikes began in August as a solo protest by 15-year-old Greta Thunberg in Sweden. Addressing the summit in Poland, she said: “If children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to.
Members of the Extinction Rebellion (XR) movement said there was a rising tide of protest. “We pay tribute to activists, students, civil society and the leaders of vulnerable countries who are rising up all over the world demanding more,” said Farhana Yamin, from XR UK. “We need now to work together to build an emergency coalition focused squarely on tackling climate devastation.”

The Goebbelsian climate change cult want all humans to die.
Yeah, set some tires ablaze. That’ll teach us.
Protests against what?
Weather?
.
It would be great if every protest got a plane with a banner trailing saying just “Global Warming Activists Are Idiots.”
We haven’t given up fossil fuels yet? Oh Lordy!
They’re using nature to justify imposing socialism on the planet.
> Protests against what?
Anything that isn’t Communism. “Climate change activist” = “Communist”. Zero difference, it’s just another of their many masks.
Won’t that create more...ah, never mind.
The concept isn’t new. Socialists and communists get popular support by representing government as the savior of what the private sector is doing. Here, they’re using global warming instead of capitalism. Same goal, different means.
There, fixed it!
Perfect!
The left has convinced millions that the earth is on the brink of catstrophy. As a result these desperate people are capable of anythng because they are on a righteous cause. It’s a dangerous situation.
So, the PROTEST is the one thing that IS getting heated?
As Pogo the Possum said many years ago: "I have met the enemy and he is us."
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
