COP26 braces for youth protests after vague emissions pledges

Glasgow (AFP) – Thousands of youth activists were preparing to descend on Glasgow on Friday to protest against what they say is a dangerous lack of action by leaders at the COP26 climate summit.

Demonstrations are expected across the Scottish city to highlight the disconnect between the glacial pace of emissions reductions and the climate emergency already swamping countries across the world.

Organisers of the Fridays for Future global strike movement said they expected large crowds at the planned three-hour protest during COP26 "Youth Day", which will be attended by high-profile campaigners Greta Thunberg and Vanessa Nakate.

"This UN Climate Summit, we're once again seeing world leaders saying big words and big promises," said Mitze Joelle Tan, a climate justice activist from the Philippines.

"We need drastic carbon dioxide emission cuts, reparations from the Global North to the Global South to use for adaptation and to manage loss and damages, and we need to put an end to the fossil fuel industry."

EMERGENCY!!! ROTFLMAO.

"We need drastic carbon dioxide emission cuts, reparations from the Global North to the Global South to use for adaptation and to manage loss and damages, and we need to put an end to the fossil fuel industry."

And there it is again, the R word: Reparations. Of course the whole scam is about money and little else.

PS: The Philippines are wholly north of the equator, so they’ll have to pay up as well, right?

it would be a delicious irony that these climate fear mongering regimes, that so badly need to be overthrown, would be overthrown by climate-warrior youths.

It’s entirely righteous that the Philippines pay Paraguay for their lost shoreline.

***Thousands of youth activists***

The same teens that were going to destroy all the PETROX gas stations if the 1976 King Kong was hurt.
Yeah, I remember that piece of dreck from back then.

Why do The Youth think these little protests work ? In a few years they’ll be running things and they can destroy everything
