There is a background smell of parental influence here, but the kids I met in work today and the girls on CH 4 news last night seemed to be genuinely, real and authentic. Sooner they get to take over the better I reckon. They have to be better than the current shit show, for sure for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a background whiff. I remember my own militancy when I was 11 and me and my brother and other kids lead a walk out at our primary school circa 1975.

fatyeti24 Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 I loved Marina Hyde's take on it. Quote There is something truly grotesque about all this playing out as children around the country and the world strike from school to protest against climate emergency. In Westminster, a generation who will never be forgiven don’t even have the thing they won’t be forgiven for on their radar. It is left, shamefully, to actual kids to point it out. With absolute ironicidal inevitability, then, May made the time to criticise the nation’s young for their actions. Apparently, the climate strike “wastes lesson time”. Just to be clear, Prime Minister, on Thursday a party colleague requested an emergency parliamentary debate on Winston Churchill, who literally DIED IN 1965. Can you grown-ups give the kids another lecture on time-wasting, please? And if there’s any time before Brexit left after that, how about a game of cat’s cradle? https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/15/rees-mogg-robot-sidekick-steve-baker-brexit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Over half of ALL the CO2 fossil fuel emissions have occurred since Al Gore published his climate book 30 years ago (So more than the last few 1000 years), see the newly published The Uninhabitable Earth. So, he didn’t change much, nor Dicaprio, the Paris agreement isn’t (See China, India), so if the kids succeed it’s a marvellous miracle, and simply it’s just about a miracle required now...

Mardy Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 There's absolutely one song that sums up this, and it was, ironically, written 55 years ago. Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
