    You only quote people who you are I suppose. Personally I though it was amusing.

    Did this image include Gazan Molotov cocktails, hand grenades, incendiary kites, rockets and snipers?
    Did your image include chants of "death to Jews" and calling Jews "sons of pigs and monkeys" ?
    Did your image see Hamas rejecting the peace deals with Israel because such deals would leave Jews
    still in the land of their nativity?
    Did this image include what Hamas does to its own people?

    They’re smart enough to believe the worlds top scientists and not some lardass in the White House with a base that isn’t smart enough to see the dangers

    Attack the messengers but ignore the message...Thank goodness these young people will be voting and are smart enough to see the dangers of man-made gases in our environment.

    Please share your knowledge with the top scientists from all over the globe, because they don’t know what they’re talking about. Obviously they are part of the conspiracy and probably meet in a secret cabal somewhere

    Greta Thunberg can actually see the gases too, with her bionic autism eyes.

    Why would anyone brag about not being committed to something and only do it because there are girls? I was in those marches then also and there were committed males. But there are always followers who have no sense of commitment to a cause

    Maybe we ought to attack the messengers but heed the warnings?
    Remember, the green movement opposed nuclear. The green movement
    supported the Global Freezing Campaign. The green movement opposes
    mitigation efforts despite the carbon dioxide to melt the poles is ALREADY
    in the atmosphere.
    A lot of these causes have more at stake than just the issue at hand. In a
    nutshell activists focus upon two real issues
    1 - who has power
    2 - who should have power.

    You will see this in issues such as feminism, equality, anti-Capitalism,
    LGBT issues and the like.

    When they say we're not going to get our driver's licenses and we want a simpler life using human muscle and blood to perform our mundane daily chores and tasks, like hand washing and drying clothes, going without air conditioning, bicycling to school and work, then I'm going to lend an ear.

    Because until the truth of the sacrifice comes out it's all pure bullshit.

    Students get a day off school if they go on a field trip with the teachers.

    Again, never thought I’d see the day that older folk would HATE children because the the kids wanted cleaner air and water. So sad. So pathetic.

    They are fighting for their lives but some people are either to ignorant to understand or simply want to rock and roll until they die and the world with them - with no care for the ones growing up. I simply do not understand it. When the adults of a species stop caring about their young they become extinct.

    The truth is being withheld from these kids. It's not their fault their elders are lying to them.

    This sort of work is already going on though I can't for the life of me remember the name it is given at the moment. That goes with the belief that we will be unable to get Governments - given their oligarch nature, to do business in time.

    Obviously things which can be changed to renewables can still carry on though obviously the longer we leave things the less choice we will have. We are already at a point where it is becoming questionable whether society as we know it now will remain. We are only experiencing part of the damage we have done as it takes 20-30 years for some reason for it to be felt on the earth and most of the damage has been done in those years when we have been well aware of the dangerous situation we were in but where Fossil Fuel money makers like the Koch brothers spent billions fooling people to believe there was no problem.

    If CO2 is a serious issue, then there must be severe sacrifice immediately.

    After all, climate change is a bigger threat than WWII. Got to have severe sacrifice immediately.

    I knew it was a conspiracy with all the scientists from all over the world. What do they know.? Actually the parents should tell them that now allowing chemicals to be put in the waters from Factories is good for them. Parents should tell the children that easing up restrictions on environmental pollution is good for them. Thank goodness we have schools that teach science so kids can learn that their parents don’t give a damn about their futures

    Well people do say if we want to leave the world in a situation which is reasonably possible to live in we should be putting in the same amount of drive and energy as we did for WW2. You however believe you are more knowledgeable than all the scientists in the world - I don't think there are any still being bribed to stay quiet. I leave you to your conscience as that is what you will need to answer to.

    Boys go where girls are, that's just a fact. As for committed boys in the global warming march I'm sure there were a few that are the offspring of Alan Colms type pencil neck geek dads and maybe some of them were even there because that's where the boys are.:wink:,
    Real boys were there because girls where there and they drove them there in their hotrod cars and pickup trucks and stopped on the way to fill up with gas and by a Coke.

    No immediate severe sacrifice, so it just gets worser and worser and worser.
