School kids protest climate change

[kevin horlocks wand]

I could but won't as I can write and spell, my teaching english as a language qualification atests to that, I cannot speed type on qwerty and I never proof read, do I care?? Nope.

Shite comeback btw, the internet is brimming with bad spelling from people perfectly able to spell and write

Are you an actual genie ?

Kids don't walk anywhere.

This is correct for many kids but that’s the fault of the parents, I used to walk to school because I was told to. I have no faith whatsoever that our selfish Species will sort this out. Nice to see so many population expansion lovers from that thread concerned about our enviroment. The gdp whores playing at morality.

Good on these children and shame on politicians who try to deflect the cause.

What do we want?
Don't know
When do we want it?
Now

Is this the Brexit thread?

Depends where they live and what encouragement they get to walk. Adults who drive everywhere set the tone and the kids expect to be driven.

If the people in a position to do something about it, actually did what they wanted, ie; demolished all oil/coal power stations,
used solely wind and wave power, they'd most certainly get plenty of time off school, as most would be shut.
What do they expect the government(s) to actually do? Do the above and the economy is completely gone, no more mobiles,
cars, TV's, in fact virtually everything. It's all very self satisfying and worthy but ultimately, it's futile, what would be a more
powerful message would be collectively not using phones, walking everywhere and not flying abroad, using a school day
to bunk off is much easier. Climate change is an emotive subject, for sure, my personal take on it is it is impossible
to halt without population control,because a fast increasing world population is the fundamental reason behind it.

Youve probably got a point about the population but there's not much we can do about that. There's surely an in-between where we don't destroy the planet and people can still use their phones. There's plenty the government could do, not just ours but worldwide . They only look at what will keep them in power for a few years, they've no interest in anything beyond that so nothing will be done about it. Criticising kids for making the point though is pretty poor form I think

I must be imagining my journeys home from work being extended by lollipop ladies helping parents and their kids to cross the road at school finishing times then.
Cheers.

Funny how they couldn't have arranged it on a weekend, eh!

Wouldn’t have got one inch of coverage though, would it? “Kids go out at the weekend” doesn’t have quite the same impact as the government front bench calling them all ‘truants’ and the Telegraph frothing at the mouth using words like; anarchy and chaos.
It’s no different to every decade when the establishment (older people and moralising newspapers generally) moan incessantly about younger people as if the country has seen young people behaving differently to older people for the very first time!

You can prove anything with facts.
