    These clueless kids really believe the hoax that the earth is dying thanks to man-made global warming

    I predict they are going to live self induced miserable lives

    That is awesome, now for the next trick let's allow kids to get off of school to protest abortion. That kills more babies than climate change, so lets get right on that. Boy would lib's heads explode.

    The Climate is Changing as it has since the Earths inception. No doubt about that. But there is no Scientific proof that what the Climate Activists and Democrat Presidential Candidates want to do will change it significantly.
    The Scientific truth is that there has been warming and cooling periods since Earths inception. Long before Humans and
    and long before the Industrial age. And Scientists have said that all while eliminating things to help protect the environment as
    ment cant hurt, it will only change the temperature less than one degree in the next 100 years, bar any natural changes
    es to the environment. Like Volcanoes erupting. So the Crisis IMO is a natural one. We cannot change the natural climate
    cycle in a significant way. WE can stop polluting the oceans, when can stop the Noise pollution that is killing sea life. We can stop building in flood prone areas, over and over.and building to close to our coasts. Teachers and Media are filling kids heads with unproven information instead of Scientific fact..

    My son said to me "mum, 90% of the Climate Changers at school are girls" these movements run on pure emotion.

    It's exploitation of our youth to destabilise... and of course the more you rock the boat the more the boat rocks

    Looks like the left wing takeover of education has successfully brainwashed an entire generation. Doesn't bode well for freedom and democracy but I'm sure communist world wide are rubbing their hands together and making plans.

    So, are you saying the MILLIONS of boys who protested around the world are just horny and too stupid to care about the air and water they use?

    When the emotional element is the only thing being employed, yes.

    But it isn't.....these kids seem to know what they're talking about, they have facts to back them up..

    Are they emotional? YES, ALL of them are emotional about having clean air and water to use in their lives....if they had no emotions they would be drones with no thought process whatsoever. and they wouldn't care.

    Yep. The rich and famous, like Prince Harry and his Epstein-associated tranny, globalist wife 'Duchess' of Sussex, spend tens of millions on private jets, million dollar gas guzzling yachts, and cars that use huge amounts of gas all the while priding themselves on their environmentalism. But hey, they 'offset' their carbon footprints by giving pittances to phony charities. That is it in a nutshell too. If you don't have the money to "offset" your carbon footprints you are not going to be able to fly, and you are going to be stuck riding mass transit.

    The rich, famous, virtue signaling globalists of the world rant and rave about global warming, when the 'fixes' they espouse will never affect them. They can afford to 'offset' their carbon footprints. It's like importing hoards of uneducated, low skilled people from the third world. These same people scream for compassion towards these illegals, but they, themselves, will never have to pay the consequences of unfettered immigration.

    It is interesting that these 'superstars' scream and cry over global warming, but when Japan says it has to dump a million tons of radioactive waste into the Pacific (which is guaranteed to decimate marine life) they are completely mum. A poisoned ocean, and contaminated seafood doesn't even rate a peep from these phonies. These kids would be livid to no end if they knew about nuclear waste dump by Japan; but the MSM won't say a word about it, so the idiot kids don't have a clue.

    What "idiot" kids?

    You mean the ones around the world who are protesting what you are protesting?


    1. Nuclear dumping at sea goads Japan into action | New Scientist

    2. www.newscientist.com/article/mg14018980-500...

    3. Japan now seems likely to drop its support for ocean dumping in response to the public protests that followed revelations that Russia was dumping nuclear waste in the Sea of Japan.

    6. Now they are turning their sights to the renewed dumping of radioactive waste. Their first target was the stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant site in Japan where in 2017, Japanese officials announced that they proposed to dump 770,000 tons of radioactively contaminated water into the Pacific ocean.

    Are you kidding me... what smear.... this one
    Girls are not smarter or more aware of things outside themselves... I would know I have a boy and a girl, they are both smart, both very tuned in but in very different ways.

    My Grandson said today 'girls are more clever than boys and that just is the truth'. My other Grandson did not disagree but said 'yes but boys are better at ...' can't remember.

    Why am I reminded of The Children's Crusade?

    https://www.ancient.eu/Children's_Crusade/

    "The so-called Children’s Crusade of 1212 CE, was a popular, double religious movement led by a French youth, Stephen of Cloyes, and a German boy, Nicholas of Cologne, who gathered two armies of perhaps 20,000 children, adolescents, and adults with the hopelessly optimistic objective of bettering the failures of the professional Crusader armies and capturing Jerusalem for Christendom. Travelling across Europe, the would-be Crusaders perhaps reached Genoa but had no funds to pay for their passage to the Levant. While some participants simply returned home, a large number were sold into slavery, according to the legend."

    We have own mobs of the clueless marching to change the world by breaking it.

    I found this one about getting kids involved difficult. Do you tell children that their kids will not reach old age and they may not even live long enough to have kids or not...well I certainly have gone nowhere near that but it became obvious that this getting children motivated involved causing them distress. My nearest equivalent was the constant feeling that I could be nuked at any time. Some people have told their kids, a bit older kids than my grandchildren pretty much the situation which is that we are heading towards extinction and our politicians are not moving quick enough to change it so that we will just have massive change, possibly the end of society as we know it but not extinction. I could see it was a moral dilemma - people were risking causing their children severe trauma. However the other side of it is as far as I can see it that these children are the ones who are going to be worst affected by our negligence and are probably going to be the ones who do save the planet, if such is done. So I decided it was worth it. Climate emergency recognises the grief there is in understanding the situation we are all in and offers counselling to any who need it making clear that feeling upset about this is healthy not a sign of a mental health problem. The other side of course is that the kids working together for change give each other support and hopefully they start to feel empowered.
