Glasgow (AFP) - One car was themed 'climate reality,' another 'transforming society' and a third 'stop talking and start doing' -- welcome to the Glasgow-bound Rail to the COP.
With more than 400 young climate warriors on board, many in their mid-to-late teens, the 10-hour trip from Amsterdam with changeovers in Brussels and London was shot through with camaraderie, determination and anger.
One thing these young activists did not bring on board was the illusion that the 13-day UN summit starting Sunday would by itself beat back what they called the existential threat of global warming.
“Politicians won't achieve the Paris Agreement goals, they won't keep the temperature under 1.5 degrees Celsius," said Johnny Dabrowski, an 18-year old high school senior from Warsaw, referring to the cornerstone target in the 2015 treaty signed by nearly every country on the planet.
But rather than simply joining the Fridays for Future student strikes launched by Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, Dabrowski has put climate action at the centre of plans for his own future.
He has enrolled to become an environmental engineer to compensate for the failure of the world's major economies to slash greenhouse gases.
"We have to take carbon out of the atmosphere, it's simply a fact," he said with a poise beyond his years.
Elin Wilhelmsson has already dedicated her career to the environment.
Describing herself a Nature buff from the time she could walk, the 24-year-old is today a waste management engineer in the Swedish city of Aneby.
"I want what I do professionally to matter," she said, peering over the edge of a snug-fitting face mask.

Stupid kids think they are going to build utopia; instead, they are constructing dystopia.
bttt
The same people who want to remove the carbon from the atmosphere are the same ones who advocate for a plant based diet. It never occurs to them that you can’t have one without the other.
Our society listens to kids, women, minorities, and professional entertainers.
I can’t imagine anything going wrong...

Nothing more fun than setting back in our old age, and watching stupid kids fall for new versions of old scams, that our grandparents saw in their youth and warned us about.

12% of this clown’s body is carbon—if he killed himself now he could help save the planet!

Awesome wind powered choo choos? Sure would be interesting to do an inventory on their clothing and accessories to see how much they really hate petro products.
How Dare They!
Well stated.
A great magazine cartoon by Tom Toro has two men, one elderly with a white beard in a book lined study.
One says:
Those who don’t study history are doomed to repeat it. Yet those who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it.”
The only truth they know are the lies and bullsh## they have been fed by the system. Their heads are full of narratives and talking points with no substance behind it
Did anyone see the many photos of hundreds of fans mobbing Great as she arrived in Glasgow?

I have 3 grandchildren in their 20’s......while in their teens the influence of the educational system was so evident. Once out of school you could also see their thinking change year by year....to where now they see the wisdom of their parents and doing their own investigation for truth.
Young skulls full of mush.

It would depend on what he did. Cremation would return his carbon to the atmosphere. His best bet would probably be freeze drying.
Gen XYZ.....I encounter them.every day. Most seem like clueless self absorbed twits . I know there are plenty of good ones but I guess they keep a low pro. Many run around like every day is Halloween. Spending fortunes adorning their bodies with stupid tattoos . And they are cheap as hell, don’t tip . Probably because they have never truly known the struggle of trying to earn a living. I am not at all umpressed....
I always learn new stuff here.
