Kids From At Least 112 Countries, Including the US, Go on Strike To Protest Climate Change
It started 29 weeks ago when 16-year-old Swede Greta Thunberg began skipping school on Fridays to protest climate change by standing outside of her nation's parliament building. Today, kids from more than 110 countries, including the United States, are following Thunberg's lead and will play hooky from classes for something they think is ultimately more important: preventing the warming of their planet. Live updates, from The Guardian. Further reading: Thousands of scientists are backing the kids striking for climate change.
Do you? Go watch this: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/... if you really think that's 2 hours of lies and bullshit and so-called 'libtards' and their 'liberal agenda' then you don't belong on slashdot or in any science or technology-based career, go to seminary and become a goddamned priest.
And "heard somewhere?" rather than policy that basically every informed expert on the planet agrees must be undertaken but businesses, shockingly, do not want?
I have some friends who joined this protest. The kid quoted in the article said, "my life is literally on the line." It's not, the science doesn't support that, he's following his emotions not facts. He's just a kid who enjoys the attention. Protesting is fun, I do it, too.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
Well, obviously a liberal education lets people actually learn how to spell... which suggests that, based on your post, anyone should trust you about as much as a drunken bum on a corner selling Rolex watches.
They're obviously products of a libtard ejumacation.
Hey Anonymous Coward - At least they have an education and aren't proud to be ignorant of basic facts - Unlike you, apparently.
So they'd rather spend their lives dealing with the consequences of new policies? Namely, a possibly slightly cooler planet with extreme levels of national debt to pay for the potential mitigating policies that have been proposed?
Yes it's an anecdote! Were you expecting original research in a Slashdot comment?
The idea that this activity plays a great part in 'climate change' aka 'global warming' is debatable: look at the sun.
How much more power does it send in our direction?
Did you count the sun spots?
Shhh. Warmists get angry when you point out that the Earth is warmed by the Sun. They like it even less when you point out that as limited as our climate models are, they're still way better than our models of the solar atmosphere and internals.
There's a consensus, you moron; know your place and don't argue with your betters.
Oh, well, there goes my karma.
Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
