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.
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.
Speaking as a boomer, we've already destroyed earth's climate. We're setting our sights on ruining gravity next.

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.
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.
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, no. They are children who dont know WTF they are talking about. But you are certainly free to be led around by them.
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.

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.Then I join you in also having no interest in what you said.

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.
