March 25 (UPI) -- Friday marked the resumption of worldwide school climate strikes by young activists intent on sparking action to deal with causes of climate change. Hundreds of protests were expected on all seven continents.
On its website, Fridays For Future posted a map of planned protest actions.
"The catastrophic climate scenario that we are living in is the result of centuries of exploitation and oppression through colonialism, extractivism and capitalism, an essentially flawed socio-economic model which urgently needs to be replaced," Fridays For Future said in a statement on its website.
Many of the Fridays For Future actions in Europe were also tied to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
"Colonizers and capitalists are at the core of every system of oppression that has caused the climate crisis," Fridays For Future said, "and decolonization, using the tool of climate reparations, is the best kind of action."
Fridays For Future is a youth-led climate strike movement that started in August 2018 when then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg began a school strike for climate in Sweden.
Demands of the school climate strike activists include keeping the global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, ensuring climate justice and equality, and listening to the best science when it comes to climate action.

Fidiots!
If it wasn’t for Colonizers and capitalists, most of these idiots would still be running around naked and throwing spears at each other...
Well then, would a nuclear winter make them any happier?
Never heard of it before.
Why is UPI pimping this far left organization?
Who’d a thunk college age and high school kids would strike on Fridays. Bet that was a hard sell. Meanwhile Asian kids are studying their butts off. No wonder they had to dump the SAT and ACT in California admissions.
UPI needs to turn off its electricity to save the planet.
Now!
It is a climate emergency!
Other students shoukd,form new “activist” groups and strike on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays too. Protest Biden on Mondays by walking,out all day. Protest kamala on Tuesdays, schumer on Wednesdays, and mitt Romney on Thursdays
If the schools try to shut them down, take it,to the Supreme Court and claim discrimination or something.
It helps to know that the “red” in Red Shirt Friday is an acronym, which stands for Remember Everyone Deployed. Red Shirt Friday, also simply known as RED, is an informal, optional, and very popular campaign that involves participants simply choosing to wear a red shirt on any given Friday in order to show support for all deployed troops. An informal motto for this observance goes, “Just wear red and tell your friends why!”
No no no! They are the eletites who “must get the news out there to inform people” and therefore their cause is righteous, b3cause they are trying to combat evil white supremacy and climate change- they are the power rangers who must save muvver erfff!
Anybody else sick and tired of this ilk using kids as weapons.
They are social Jihadies strapping propaganda suicide vests on them.
What they don’t know about climate and its associated disciplines would fill the New York Public Library and then overflow.
Really?
All seven continents?
Love how the headlines make this out to be something earth-shattering by using that description for a headline.
I’m thinking kids growing up in Antarctica might secretly wish for a little warming, you know, if there were any there during their winters that is...
Hundreds of protests were expected on all seven continents.
Maybe Greta will go down to Antarctica and organize all the students there? All 7 continents are involved?
In the meantime, Bill Gates of Hell is building a $43 million mansion on a California beach. Sure, the ocean is gonna swamp it because of global warming...LOL! Suckers.
Add him to Obama, Pelosi, and Zuckerberg ALL screaming about the seas rising ALL buying beachfront mansions SUCKERS is right!!!
Go protest in China and India first
There must be bad science out there somewhere.
Nothing humans do will change the world temperature one degree or affect the sea levels by an inch. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool or a liar.
If every human disappeared tomorrow, the Earth would continue in its slightly irregular orbit of the Sun, with its little wobble, as it has since God set it spinning. Winter, spring, summer and fall would progress as always. Natural cycles would continue; global temperatures would change periodically, glaciers would advance and retreat, ocean levels would rise and fall, deserts would become savannahs and savannahs would become forests or wetlands. Some forests and wetlands would revert to desert. Over eons of time tectonic forces would push up mountains and volcanoes would erupt, and over more eons they would be worn down by wind and rain.
This would continue until the day of the Lord’s choosing, when our Sun goes nova and reduces the planet to ash.
The main difference is that there would be no liberals around to lie about it.
