Crowds of children jammed the streets of major cities Friday in a global show of force to demand action on climate change, with many young people skipping school in protest and sharing a unified message aimed at world leaders.

"No matter how many times they try to ignore the issue, you can see every teenager in the area is here," said Isha Venturi, a 15-year-old high school sophomore from New Jersey who was in New York's lower Manhattan for the "Global Climate Strike."

"We're not quiet anymore, and change is coming," added Venturi, who was joined by her parents.

In New York, the day was punctuated by children-led marches, dance circles and handmade signs that read, "If the world was cool we would be in school." Swedish teenager Greta Thunberg, who started the climate strike movement as a weekly demonstration in August 2018, addressed demonstrators in Manhattan later Friday. Organizers estimated about 100,000 people were in attendance.

Or: "HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS went to work as climate strike protests hit cities across Asia, Europe so they can survive and get ready for the cool down that's coming. Yup, winter." So, in manhattan an estimated 100k showed up. Butt, weren't there supposed to be like 1.1 million kids given a pass to attend? Where's the other 900,000+/- kids? I wonder if any of those attending world wide used any manmade devices to record the event. And, was greta the abused child using a solar or wind powered PA system? Is she swimming back to Sweden after she sets the u.n. assclowns straight?

Is this another case of schools using kids as numbers...let them get out of class for a walk... Knowing and caring nothing about the reason why?

It’s from the links at the bottom... plus the links give all the historical backup information... It’s a treasure trove all right - pass it around.

You are right - but the link:

https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions

Gives the backup articles that are cited in the list.

GREAT resource.

I plan to send the links to my relatives along with the list.

I was in college when the dire predictions about the “coming Ice Age” were going around. A Professor at UNC stated this quite clearly and openly. So I am an eyewitness to at least some of these idiotic predictions.

Trump needs to have a televised Fireside Chat with climatologist guests and graphics debunking human-caused climate change.

The Left hates him anyway, but there will be many young people who have never even heard the other side, and will be shocked to be shown the facts.

I think you should put in Oral Roberts’ 1980 900 foot Jesus prediction. It wasn’t about climate but the sort of people who go along with Climatology hate being lumped in with smarmy televangelists.

And not a single protest against Communist China or India, who by far are the world’s biggest polluters. Instead of cutting back on pollution, they are allowed to increase pollution until 2030.

It’s just a ruse to screw the West and Japan and let China and India be the world’s economic superpowers.
