BERLIN (AP) — Tens of thousands of environmental activists staged a rally outside Germany’s parliament Friday, two days before the country holds a national election, to demand that politicians take stronger action to curb climate change.
The protest outside the Reichstag in Berlin was part of a string of rallies around the world, from Japan and Italy to Indian and Britain — amid dire warnings the planet faces dangerous temperature rises unless greenhouse gas emissions are cut sharply in the coming years. Across Germany, tens of thousands of marchers joined similar protests in several cities and towns.
The idea for a global “climate strike” was inspired by teenage Swedish activist Greta Thunberg’s solo protest in Stockholm three years ago. It snowballed into a mass movement until the coronavirus pandemic put a stop to large gatherings. Activists have only recently started staging smaller gatherings.
Thunberg, 18, addressed the Berlin rally from a stage, telling the crowd that voting is important but must be coupled with protests that put politicians under constant pressure.
“We can still turn this around,” she said to cheers. “We demand change, and we are the change.”
Friday’s rally was a multi-generational event, drawing school-age participants as well as adults. Rene Bohrenfeldt, an IT expert taking part in the Berlin rally, said he hoped older Germans would consider the issue when casting their votes on Sunday.
“The majority of voters are older than 50 and determine the outcome of the election,” Bohrenfeldt, 36, said. “I appeal to all grandmothers to make the right decision for the climate and for their grandchildren.”
Civics teacher Anne Kokott, cradling her infant son, Enzo, said she hoped Friday’s large turnout would signal the urgency of dealing with the climate crisis and perhaps have an impact on undecided or older voters.

Isn’t Scoldilock’s 15 minutes of fame up yet?
What an ugly person.
*sigh*
I still feel guilty for ruining her childhood by having all of those tire fires
I’m in Berlin! I missed a chance to heckle her!
A rally....during Covid. I guess she is a Covid denier
Only 18 years old and already going bald.
Must be the stress from all the Climate Hysteria. She could always go to Bosley’s for a hair and brain transplant.
The little Change is giving her 2 cents worth again...
More likely she pulls it and eats her own hair.
“Trichophagia is characterized by the person eating hair, usually their own; primarily after pulling it out. Most often, hair is pulled out and then the ends of the root bulb are eaten, or occasionally the hair shaft itself. The hair eventually collects in the gastrointestinal tract (on occasion, and depending upon severity of symptoms) causing indigestion and stomach pain.[citation needed] Ritual is a strong factor, and may involve touching the root bulb to the lips, tasting the hair, and occasionally chewing it. Sometimes those with the disorder may even eat the hair of others. In the psychiatric field it is considered a compulsive psychological disorder.”
I have an idea. Why not give this little jerk an entire island nation to rule and provide an example of wise, prudent leadership to the rest of the world? Only by DOING do we achieve credibility.
Show us how, greta!
Here are some islands to consider:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilha_da_Queimada_Grande
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Sentinel_Island
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Sentinel_Island
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senkaku_Islands
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tristan_da_Cunha
and more!
C’mon, Greta, show us how it’s done!
she needs a big penis inside her, that is what is missing in her life and will solve 95% of her problems.
perhaps leonardo can help.
“she needs a big penis inside her”
Triple input!

How can otherwise reasonably intelligent people be so stupid?!
OMG! That’s disgusting and reveals some truly deep-rooted issues I would think.
In an earlier life Greta was conducting show trials and murdering her elders as a member of the Red Guard. Do not underestimate the potential evil of these children. Children committed many of the murders of the killing fields of Cambodia.
This is why the military prefers 19 year old enlistees. They are easier to mold. If Lt Calley had tried to order his troops to murder civilians in WWII those troops would have told him to f*** off. The average age of a soldier in WWII was 25. In Vietnam closer to 20. This is why the commies go after the youth. They are more easily fooled. And this is where we failed in our duty as parents. We let them do this in our schools. Now they have created millions of brainwashed children like this idiot Greta. A dangerous idiot. But an idiot nonetheless. She has no personal doubt that she is absolutely correct and is willing to do anything to achieve her twisted supposed utopia.
If the govt decided to round up “climate deniers” Greta and her ilk would cheer. Do not underestimate the dangerousness of these brainwashed youths. The Chinese in the 1960s found out first hand.
It’s just a guess on my part but would seem to fit her personality
Al Gore made his movie in 2006. We have been cutting carbon emissions drastically for 16 years. Yet, it’s not enough. Things are just as bad or worse. They never say great job people we are winning this thing. I would be much more motivated if they stopped whipping and started toasting. If you are raising kids you can’t just tell them they are a fuckup, you have to compliment them a lot of the time. If you are an employer you can’t just tell your employees that they are crap. They won’t work if they don’t have some pride in what they are doing.
Environmentalists don’t ever tell people that they are doing good. Nice electric car bro! Cool you got solar panels! Keep it up and we will get this sea level rising under control. Good job sorting your garbage for recycling! That’s what we need! Kudos for riding your bike and taking light rail to work! They never say anything positive. It’s always scare scare scare. Blame Republicans and the rich.
