“Our world leaders are the ones acting like children,” says a 13-year-old striker in New York

After all dogs and cats are eliminated, school busses should be put on the chopping block.

Why *should* adults listen to ignorant and self-righteous children?

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.

noun

noun: strike; plural noun: strikes

1. a refusal to work organized by a body of employees as a form of protest, typically in an attempt to gain a concession or concessions from their employer.

"dockers voted for an all-out strike"

synonyms: industrial action, walkout

"staff held a 48-hour strike"

When a group is On Strike, they are NOT doing something that is beneficial to other people. When airline pilots, (for example) strike, they are not piloting airplanes.

Exactly what good or service are these kids depriving anyone of?????

Maybe because children are so easy to brain wash.

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.

"I started to realize, ‘Wow, I’ve lived in climate change my whole life’

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'.

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.

“Our reservoir dried up one time — where we got our water supply. I just started to realize that I’ve always been around this.”

I’m guessing she also lived during the rains that refilled the reservoir.

As per the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center:

Bezymianny (RUSSIA): ERUPTION AT 20190315/1730Z FL500 EXTD E REPORTED OBS VA DTG: 15/1740Z (Tokyo VAAC)

Note: FL500 is 50,000 feet... That's a ten mile high blast just yesterday that gives us those pretty red sunsets. But I'm the polluter, (rolls eyes)
