A Huge Climate Change Movement Led By Teenage Girls Is Sweeping Europe. And It’s Coming To The US

the only ignorance is thinking that climate change isn't supposed to happen.
guess what it is supposed to happen it has been happening since the earth was formed.

climate change is a good thing and without it we would probably die.

This is one of the dumbest comments I've ever read and should be readily dismissed as you haven't spent one single day of your life seriously studying climate but think you know more than all of science.

No **** climate always changes, but it's about HOW, HOW MUCH, and WHY. Anyone that thinks that mankind fundamentally can't have an effect on the environment is a uneducated moron. There is literally mountains of evidence showing that mankind is effecting the climate, but you reject it because you have a political agenda.

You do realize that it was boomers who are the reason that you have all this nice technology that you get to use now a days? Technology that was arrived at through science? Hell, if it wasn't for a boomer you wouldn't even be sitting at your desk in front of your computer screen right now. You also wouldn't know a damn thing about climate change because much of what is known about climate change today is the result of boomers using science.

And just so you know, I'm not a boomer so have no self interest in what I said.

Then I join you in also having no interest in what you said. You're rejecting the fact that boomers are the primary drivers of climate change ignorance and actively have chosen to do nothing.

That children have to take action then the grown ups fail in their duties and responsibilities.

Why are you surprised?
Teens are gullable enough to believe what the media tells them...over and over...even though the adults should already know all of this is based on very questionable science and assumptions.

Climate change is not what you think. Many people have been duped by this nonsense.
 
A movement lead by children. Should I be the first to tell them that dreams are as far from reality as one can get?

Uh huh, but these girls aren't dreaming, they're acting. Be afraid all you deniers, these are the generations that will seal the doom of the anti-science GOP in america. Younger folks are not as apt to believe the bullcrap that comes from the right as their folks who lived through cold wars and the fear of communism. Politics for a bunch of younger people is about social rights and wrongs, not about making as much money as is possible while tromping on the necks and backs of others.
 
Uh, no. They are children who dont know WTF they are talking about. But you are certainly free to be led around by them.

Is it a toss up. Either they don't know or you don't know.
Tough choice, but the chilluns have a better track record.

Yeah ... sounds like the hippie era ... :lamo

Hmmm...
I think it's time you met Dr. Patrick Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute.
It's only about 15 minutes...do yourself a favour and watch it.

And the hippies protested against the crazy vietnam war that ended with thousands of americans dead and not a thing accomplished. Those crazy hippies.

Democrats love letting the children rule because increasingly it's only children they can convince.
 
I read this and it reminded me of the Children's Crusade.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children's_Crusade
While what actually happened in the 13th century is lost to history, there are enough
Contemporary sources to say that something actually happened, and none of it ended well.

Who are we to say too much is too much? no one that is who. The earth went from a friggen tropic atmosphere to a ice age where glaciers nearly covered everything.
They have found lush green forests in the artic that never was supposed to be there. that tells me that a huge major swings in climate conditions are there with little or nothing to do with humans. It also means that the earth can cycle back through those same scenario's again.
I have never said we don't have an impact but this delusion that you people have that think we control what climate does or will do are the true morons.

We would still be living in an ice age if it wasn't for climate change. Yes you reject science for a political agenda.
guess what we are no where near a maximum heat cycle. guess what we are no where near max co2 levels that the earth has
had before.

our understanding i mean actual sciencetific understanding of how our climate works is infantile. we have no clue.
yet we have morons that want to scrub all green house gasses out of the atmosphere which would kill us.
we would freeze to death.

As all reports have stated pretty much all plans to "combat climate change" would cost trillions of dollars, and their impact on the overall climate is nothing.
 
Oh oh, I remember this same commercial. The older man standing in front of the screen and telling the audience that he doesn't believe in all of this global warming, climate change malarkey. Only to say that it wouldn't affect him anyway and he just steps off the screen. Wherein it's revealed that he was standing on a line of train tracks that there was a freight train coming in behind him. Then the camera lowers and it shows a child, a little girl standing on the track with tears in her eyes...

Yeah now she's all grown up and has kids of her own, with grandchildren to boot if memory serves.
I don't care for what a group of children are passionately calling for across the pond. Because if there's one thing I don't want to base important decisions on, it's children who let their emotions rule nearly all of their actions.

SIAP. And children who are easily influenced by some crackpot in authority.
 
Hmmm...
I think it's time you met Dr. Patrick Michaels, director of the Center for the Study of Science at the Cato Institute.

that would mean educating ones self. these people are not interested in that.
 
I'm not worried about this at all. I have a lot of confidence in generation Z. They're the most conservative generation since WW2, generally speaking.

The way climate change 'experts' are going about receding the impending disaster of climate change is illogical. One has to believe in the unproven theory of AGW to combat their notion of climate change.

my issue is that we allowed these clowns to hijack an actual scientific term.
Climate change is a real scientific term.

Global warming is a theory.

They couldn't push Global warming and people didn't believe them so they had to hijack climate change and make it this mean nasty thing
when it isn't.

all it does is show the level of dishonesty that these people will go to in order to push their agenda on everyone else.
 
Well, having spent most of the past year in Europe, I haven’t heard peep about this.

Seems plausible Leftists have gone to exploiting children like Sandy Cortez to sell their idiotic green schemes.

Says more about the circles you fraternize in, to be honest.

Yes and there's a taxation and changing of way of life in there somewhere. That's called socialism.

If that were true then your generation would be the ones just starting out on studying climate instead of climate science being older than both of us.

Kids are easily manipulated.

The Khmer Rouge death squads were made up mostly of kids.

No doubt paid for by George Soros.

So yes, they're dreaming and not only that. But you seem to be tossing a **** load of speculation on how you should be believe. Because you've just attributed motive to something that wasn't even present in the first place. Being skeptical about climate change, isn't being anti-science and the last time I checked. My lean still fell onto the center-left of the spectrum.

So the moment science can actually nail this stupidity down, with far less of a margin for error than it already has. Then I'd be more wiling to actually to believe the pro-climate change awareness movement, or whatever nonsensical names it's been given this time around. Seeing as when I was younger, it was still being called global warming.

No, they're just sick and tired of the older generations, particularly the boomers, actively screwing the environment for their future because they're scientifically illiterate and don't care about the consequences because they've already got one foot in the coffin.

They should be mad, damn mad, because it's their future we're screwing up with our ignorance and refusal to act.

LOL. In the US in particular nothing is more sentimentally idealized than "Youth" - those teenage children, passing hazily through a flood of hormonal excitation and two thirds of whom you never trust to babysit your child, are credited with a sort of other worldly collective wisdom and super competence, imbued with a special moral authority.

Why so many of the left of center genuflect before altar of screaming Youth is not entirely clear. After all, they are the same youth treated at home or in school as far from idealized - they are awkward, unstable, and often uncertain of themselves . They swing violently between the extremes of self-abnegation and greed, they are insufferably frivolous, or insufferably bored. Their opinions are more crudely colored by undefined emotional urges, at this stage life, than at any other time. And because of their immaturity and youthful eagerness they blindly "follow the leader" more than any other age group, and are perfect raw stuff for demagogic molding. Not one of them in ten thousand would conceivably be trusted to make policies for his or her own family. But ten thousand together, as "a movement" should command the rapt attention of fawning adults?

Why anyone would put a premium on their lack of experience and mental fuzziness as against intelligence and maturity? Or are you not aware that it is the emotional young people, more than any other, whose mobilization and movement in Germany and Italy who beat their civilization into a pulp?

Finally, the absurdity of lionizing youth movements is most stark in its contradiction to the other meme of the climate change left, the claim that only well educated climate scientists are qualified to speak to global warming and climate change - whereas that the climate denialists and skeptics are all of dubious and poorly qualified backgrounds and should be dismissed.

Airheaded hormonal fifteen year olds, on the other hand, now there's a climate change group we ARE supposed to swoon over?

You may applaud their antics, cater to their pretentious self-importance, cheer their pseudo independence, and shed tears at their nobility - but some of us are actually serious and thoughtful about our convictions, and decline to do so.

You've never seriously studied the climate or environment a single day in your life, but are arrogant enough to believe your opinion, based solely on your politicial lean is more qualified than all of the scientists in the field and all of the mountains of scientific evidence. It has nothing to do with these kids and everything to do with the science.

The implication that these children invented climate change and thus it all should be dismissed are the ramblings of an uneducated lunatic. I swear to god science deniers are the dumbest mother ****ers on the planet. Ramble on.
