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.

"I started to realize, Wow, Ive 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 Ive 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.

Shut off their Electricity, no more rides in Cars or Busses, No more flying anywhere, no more Clothes or Prescription Drugs made from Oil Based Chemicals, the list is endless.
Maybe because children are so easy to brain wash.
Their leather shoes come from animals that fart.
What a coincidence!

Ihope not.
Chanting children are nothing new in the history of the world. One is reminded of Hitlerjugend, the corps of indoctrinated and trained youth, who were among the most fanatical soldiers in the defense of the last days of National Socialism.
The original mission of the Hitlerjugend had been to bring Hitler to power. Under the leadership of Baldur von Schirach, head of all German youth programs, the Hitler Youth included by 1935 almost 60 percent of German boys. On July 1, 1936, it became a state agency that all young Aryan Germans were expected to join.
Upon reaching his 10th birthday, a German boy was registered and investigated (especially for racial purity) and, if qualified, inducted into the Deutsches Jungvolk (German Young People). At age 13 the youth became eligible for the Hitler Youth, from which he was graduated at age 18. Throughout these years he lived a spartan life of dedication, fellowship, and Nazi conformity, generally with minimum parental guidance. From age 18 he was a member of the Nazi Party and served in the state labor service and the armed forces until at least the age of 21.
Does no one see the deadly parallels today?
I think one of the kids flew in a jet to address one of the meetings.
If they are not going to take it seriously, why should we?
Nobody with a brain will listen. So expect a throng of journalists and liberals (but I repeat myself) to attend and earnestly lend an ear.
Or the Exxon Valdez disaster that foretold environmental Armageddon unless we immediately halted the use of fossil fuels?
Because of our education system and ego-centric internet culture, young children believe history began the day they were born.
A whole generation of teens likely have no idea what 9/11 was or understand the history and threat of Islam to the west.
Even when they do learn history, it's now politically correct. 'People attack the United States because WE are the problem. WE have to change. WE have to be tolerant and accommodating. Then they will stop attacking us and the world will live with peace'.
Shut up Johnnie and clean your room
Ya think? (Also in Cali.)
Useful idiots.
If they do they are even more stupid than the students.
Does no one see the deadly parallels today?

Forgot one: homosexuality was encouraged ...
Dumb internet generation thinks the planet is as small as Instagram makes it out to be.
Go have a skip day, millions (billions?) of kids in China, India, and S. Korea will be busily in class training to be the person that fires you when you attempt this as adults.
The kids can all drink a special Kool Aid and take one for the cause.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
