Brilliant to see the passion from a bunch of kids who, quite frankly, are putting many adults and certainly most politicians to shame.

PM's response apparently 'get back to school you little horrors, you're being a nuisance'  . Bitch. |  |

Will they be back tomorrow or is it just a Friday thing? 
I can't blame them, brilliant idea to get out of school for the day. |  | | |

Not sure I understand why it couldn't have been a day in the half term. Ok it wouldn't have been a "strike" then. |  |

Kills two birds with one stone dunnit; both make a very valid point and get to go on a jolly. Good planning that. Best we've seen from the Westminster area for some time. | |

I've often thought that a small (say 10-20) group of sixth-formers would have done a 100 x better job of negotiating Brexit than the current government. |  |

What will they board to go on their holidays - an aeroplane!
How do many get to school - a car
12 year olds with an opinion. I don't think so! |  | | |

Perhaps when they are adults they'll make better choices than their parents. You should be thanking them. Florida will be under water pretty soon. |  |

Shows they have been sufficiently brain washed. Heard one of them say on the radio that we have 12 months to save the planet.
Think I heard that about 20 years ago. [Post edited 15 Feb 2019 14:35]

I would have protested for remain, if it got me off school.
Fair play to them. | | | |

Please, tell us more about your thoughts on how climate change will impact the Earth over the coming years.
Those poor kids, brainwashed by scientific fact. We need to get them down the nearest Wetherspoons pronto to be reeducated by some puffed up, half-cut, day drinking gammon. [Post edited 15 Feb 2019 14:45]

I'm hoping that the school won't object when I take my kids on a geography lesson to Tenerife a couple of days before term ends. |  |

I find it thoroughly bizarre that a lot of people are more concerned about whether a few kids are in school today than one of the biggest challenges facing the human race. Bizarre and depressing. | |

Sneering condescension and selfishness seems to be a common trait in the kind of person who does that. [Post edited 15 Feb 2019 14:40]

I don't even have kids, and I'm gobsmacked pretty much daily by the total shortsightedness of so many supposed adults who don't seem either able or willing to contemplate what kind of future their children/grandchildren won't have if we continue to wreck our planet at the current rate ... | |

Some people are just unable to comprehend that climate change is happening because they do not see any direct impacts. Their street isn't under water, their crops aren't failing. In the richest parts of the world it doesn't happen on a human scale, so it is easy to dismiss and maintain your current way of living. Politicians add to this laziness and won't act because, frankly, they'll take the hit now and not be around to be thanked for their action later down the world.
Where we start to see real world impacts is in some of the poorest parts of the world, and when it really gets going it will trigger a refugee crisis the likes of which we've not seen before. [Post edited 15 Feb 2019 14:50]

Well, seeing as the climate has always changed, the impact is probably the same as it always has been.
Didn't one of the so called experts say years ago that our children (who will be grown up now) won't know what snow looks like?
It's OK though, humans can now control the earth's climate apparently. | | | |

A vast, vast majority of the world's scientists must have been brainwashed too. But no worry, some twanger on a second division football forum knows better.  |
Wrong. Third-division barring a miracle ... | |

I remember about 25 years ago they said East Anglia would become a desert and wouldn't be able to sustain the greenery it does now due to the increasing heat, about 10-12 years ago this was revised to say we would be flooded and Norwich would end up under the sea.
Sometimes you have to break some eggs...
I am all for reducing emissions and making the world greener, ultimately if there were fewer people everywhere there would be fewer problems too, but nobody seems to really want to address that, but its an obvious problem as we're now living longer and the more of us there are, the more resource we need to sustain life and thus a bigger drain we are on the planet. I'd like to see cars be done away with and a better public transport system put in place too, but hey ho. |  |

Where are you picking up this information? I hope you take the time to read what follows as I would actually like to seriously debate this with you.
The evidence for the human cause of global warming is overwhelming and has been accepted for years now.
Yes, the climate has changed before, even before humans existed, we know why they occurred and we know that mass extinctions followed.It is indisputable that there is a link between rising CO2 levels and global temperatures which then leads to damage to biosystems. The fact that climate has changed before doesn't disprove that we are the cause this time around.
So, past rapid increases in CO2 and rising global temperatures have something in common. Mass extinctions.
I'll give you an example. The Permian Mass Extinction which was 250 million years ago and brought about by gigantic volcanic eruptions in Siberia. Guess what that set about causing? A massive increase in Greenhouse gases and rising temperatures. Now guess the percentage of life that was wiped out. I'll tell you. Around 90%.
The fact that climate has changed before actually adds weight to the argument that the unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases that humans have been, and are currently, releasing to the atmosphere are going to have catastrophic consequences. | |
