Anyone else notice the commonality amongst these "protestors"???
			
			
			
				These protestors have not lived long enough to know better.
			
			
			
				I note that most are young females.
What does that say?

				We all are.
			
			
			
				Have you heard their so called demands? It has nothing to do with stopping the climate from changing. It's a socialist take over by stealth.
			
			
			
				The entire climate thing is a socialist take over ........ by stealth in some ways maybe but much of it is fully in the open

They(the adults using these kids) are using climate as cover for their true agenda. They drill into their heads an existential threat is at hand and that gives them license to demand that our liberties(choices) be terminated.

				My point is that young women are spear heading a LOT of sociaist/progressive agendas and policies. Feminism has become the new facade of socialism, and it has been adept in infiltrating many of our social institutions, particularly education. 
Feminism is no longer a social movement, but a political activism organisation.
Much of the left/progressive agenda is dominated by women, who have adroitly employed sexism, racism and victimism to recruit and attract followers.

Like environmentalism, feminism has been hijacked by radical leftists.
			 
			
			
				I don't agree with a lot of this, but here's an interesting perspective on climate change from the Economist.

Those kids are as guilty as anyone else of creating any so called mess. What do you thin their signs were made of. Anyway, these climate protests are being paid for by billionaires who are not too worried about the planet's climate changing.
			 
			
			
				Teachers in the US allowed kids to cut class to attend the billionaire's climate protests, but would they do the same if kids wanted to attend a save the second amendment protest. Would kids in Canada be allowed to skip school and attend a protest against bills C-48 and C-69?
			
			
			
				Would those kids give up their e-devices and social media. Both spew a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere.

				This is hysteria, not science. Who is leading the "demand government action" on climate change? A sixteen year old. Who is leading the ban disposable plastic bags movement? A nine year old. :001_rolleyes:

				If kids gave up social media and their e-devices for a day, a week or a month, it would have more credibility than skipping school.

If you presented a choice to those kids: a warming planet with e-devices/social media or a cooling planet without either, what do you think they eould choose? I would confidently place my bet on the former.

Artists for Real Climate Action
The growing collection of artists also includes comedians Mary Walsh and Shaun Majumder; environmentalist David Suzuki; filmmaker Atom Egoyan; Barenaked Ladies bassist Jim Creegan; and actors Eric McCormack, Jean Yoon, Sheila McCarthy, Paul Gross, and Eric Peterson.
Repo-Martell said Suzuki, along with singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie and former politician/diplomat Stephen Lewis, also plan to play one of the ARCA videos on their cross-country climate-change election rally tour.
"We are hoping to inspire Canadians to make as much noise as possible in this election period," said Repo-Martell.

				One issue Autistic and Asperger people share is they tend to take what they are told very literally. They sometimes find it difficult to distinguish fact from fiction, when the fiction is presented as a fact.
What Greta likely doesn't understand is most climate activists, even people voicing radical climate claims, don't absolutely believe their own claims in the way Greta does. If everyone who says they are concerned wholeheartedly believed climate change was about to destroy the world, they would all abandon their jobs and normal lives, and march until something was done about it.
I could see her becoming a cynic about alarmism when she gets older.
			
			
			
				So we get a partial list of who's paying for Greta's travels.
By Tarek Fatah of SunNews Media
As an old-fashioned leftist, I still believe "it's the economy, stupid" and worry more about the working poor and vanishing trade unions than the vanishing ozone layer that never did.
But watching Greta on Youtube made me realize I was facing two contradictory thoughts — a deep admiration of a young climate crusader who, despite being autistic, was making herself heard by the rest of the world and getting under the skin of a whole lot of people unused to being challenged.
However, it also dawned on me that there was an orientalist streak about Greta's narrative. She was justified to campaign to ensure the world woke up to the dangers of global warming, but her priorities were framed in her own privileges.
Her voice resonated among the same class of people that she belonged to — white upper-middle class and the new millionaire Marxists that will never be seen discussing issues of the working class at a Tim Hortons in Regent Park, but most definitely at cafes with French-sounding names.
That certainly does not take away from the value of what Greta is saying, but what she said at the United Nations alarmed me. For the first time, I could see her anger as contrived.
I may be wrong, but having seen another young woman — Malala Yousafzai — whose plight moved me to start a global initiative for a Nobel Peace Prize for her, I could see the fingerprints of a speech writer trying to make a child reject what her forefathers had accomplished in the last 200 years and reject it as the rape of Mother Earth.
"This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean," she said. "Yet you have come to us young people for hope. How dare you? You have stolen my dreams, my childhood with your empty words."
The steam engine and the airplane went hand in hand with penicillin and insulin. [size=150]Next time you visit a physician, remember what your grandparents accomplished was extending human life, eradicating poverty, and providing literacy and individual liberties like never before.[/size]
			
			
			
				in other news, the same leftists who are shielding Greta are the same ones who chased mini AOC off the internet, but now mini AOC has made a perfectly timed comeback onto the internet and leftists are fucking exploding.

She is being manipulated by adults too. But, it's satirical and a good counter to the money manipulating the Swedish autistic girl.
