    The data is overwhelming. People living in the Arctic don't have to be told the climate is changing. They are living with the differences everyday as the Arctic warms 3 times the rate of the rest of the planet. I don't know how this level of denial still exists anymore.

    I guess the fossil fuel funded denial machine is just so entrenched that people have a vested interest in repeating the same nonsense over and over. Changing opinion with the evidence means giving up a cherished belief system, I suppose.

    I guess you thought all those slogans on a hunk of cardboard and shouting by Martin Luther King did nothing but whining. I bet you think the millions of women writing slogans on cardboard for reproductive rights did nothing. Obviously you don’t understand the power of numbers and how a movement works. What you are doing is what so many on The right do...Rather than hear what they are saying you attack them. But it’s OK because they don’t really care what you think. They will be voting soon

    Talk about twisting a narrative

    It's a well known fact women/girls are more emotional... science calls it estrogen and oxytocin... when mothers feed their babies their bodies produces oxytocin. The problem is Fox... you are fighting against and trying to change nature.. biology.

    90% of climate changers are girls... check the crowds... and these movements run on pure emotion because overhauling the entire economy is not practical and once you manage to overcome your hormonal response to "OMG we're all going to die tomorrow" you'll be able to recognise that yelling screaming and destabilising your country is not a solution. Pure emotion.

    No One Is Upset (shame on No One!) That

    Tax Supported Public Schools
    are so indoctrinating students
    as to give them a day off school to PARTY!



    Did these students have any exposure to
    Man Made Climate Change deniers?

    It’s a well-known fact that men are more emotional but they just act out in different ways and violence is one of them. Science calls it testosterone. Have you ever gone to a football game? Tell me how men are not emotional and I love your fake statistics but 90% of climate changes are girls. Even if it were true it just shows my point that men should do the physical labor and women should use the brains

    Wrong


    Why aren't men as caring as women? Blame their hormones! High levels of testosterone affect parts of the brain linked with emotion

    How is skipping school 'taking action'? What has their 'action' accomplished?

    Men commit more violent acts..I guess there is no emotion involved. There is no question that men and women react differently but a lot of that is socialization like boys aren’t allowed to cry. That is suppressed and probably why men die sooner than women

    Yeah, skipping school is a great educational experience. A leftist lesson in learning.

    You feel the climate is going to change, or not change, because of these children? How will that work?

    Yes it is an excellent educational experience like field trips are. It is empowering young people to learn their voices can be heard.I bet you thought all those kids in Florida protesting against mass shootings should not have had their voices heard. I think you are probably scared because these are the young people that are going to be voting and it’s the old people who don’t give a damn about the environmental who will be dying

    Of course I must be a man hater. That’s usually the losing argument line Are you a woman hater? If you are a woman are you self loathing?
    Yes there are definite biological reasons pros and cons but I don’t wanna hear that women are more violent because that’s ridiculous. Women are allowed to show emotions ..from early on boys are told not to cry. Go to a hockey game or a football game and you’ll see all the emotion that men show because they’re allowed. Women are allowed to cry. But yes, there are definite differences ...But boys are discouraged from showing emotions like women while women are encouraged to show emotions like men

    I hope you’re making a joke. If not I will explain it to you. Your president has cut funding to study global warming. Your president has allowed chemicals from factories to be deposited in water. Your president has repealed clean air acts. These young adults are being heard....and They will be voting

    And all the funding and environmental common sense regs will be back in place soon enough. Luckily trump will not be allowed to destroy our environment.

    If there is not sufficient funding to study global warming how do we know it exists?

    Please supply the data to support your assertions, and you're welcome to compare the results with your own country. What's your country?

    Increased methane limits for fracking. No one wants that.


    Relaxing clean water standards. No one wants that.

    Relaxing coal plant emission controls. No one wants that

    Reducing the size of Utah wilderness areas. No one wants that.

    Exiting the Paris Accord. No one wants that.
