Millions of people around the globe joined in protests to demand "an end to the age of fossil fuels."

Climate activist Greta Thunberg estimated she was joined by 250,000 in New York City.

"How we can get more young people involved -- I think to just tell them the truth, tell them how it is," Thunberg told the crowd.

Hundreds of Amazon workers walked out of their offices in Seattle.

Thousands joined in marches in New York City, Chicago, Denver and more cities across the country.

The real problem is not "climate change", but that we have too many idiots.

Everywhere, this story is posted right now as a big deal; that a bunch of youngsters want everyone but themselves living in caves and ponying up more tax to government elites.

If we demonstrate about something we get arrested and the protest is ignored. All ya need to know.

If they want to end fossil fuels- turn off the lights, turn off the heat and walk everywhere. Oh, and grow your own veggies.

LOL...try flying those delivery planes, those delivery vans, those hundreds of thousand of automated warehouse robots, those zillions of servers, those zillions of end-user devices that order stuff on unicorn farts. Just try it.

I really wonder why Democrats think relying on teenagers and children to articulate their message, is a winning strategy. I remember the Dem Convention in 2004 (The one that MADE Obama a household name in Dem homes). In 2004, they used a child to scorn GWB..... ‘SHAME on you, George W Bush! SHAME on you!’ It was quite embarrassing for the Dems although they didn’t realize it at the time. They are using a 16 year old this time. One who has Aspergers and doesn’t sound too bright.

Communists are the biggest threat.

Green is Red. Never forget that.

Environmentalism is the religion of the commies since they have to hide it somehow.

The mass hysteria demonstrated by this event is evidence that socialist countries have been dumbed down.

The first thing all these youngsters must do is to read "Chicken Little," and the "Pied Piper."

Then take some time off to try to think what all that means.

What they did today is equivalent to a childish tantrum.

Sad to see all the school children spouting slogans. They should watch the North Korean stadium extravanzas.

"and then they drove or flew home, all the while posting on their electricity charged tablets and phones."

Good insight!

Students made a three day weekend out of the politically correct climate change protest.

School children admit they used climate change protests as an excuse to skip class [tr]

Remember in November 2020!

I think the Power Generation Industry should get together and shut down ALL fossil fuel power plants for 3 days, and see just how many people will be talking about cutting fossil fuels after that!
