We should all listen to teens blowing off their education on world affairs, right?

‘You have not seen anything yet,’ climate activist Greta says ahead of Davos

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg marched with 10,000 protesters in the Swiss city of Lausanne on Friday and said “you have not seen anything yet” before some head to Davos next week to challenge the global financial elite to fight climate change.

The 17-year-old, who launched the #FridaysforFuture movement that has sparked worldwide protests, denounced a lack of government action to cut heat-trapping emissions before it is too late.

“So, we are now in a new year and we have entered a new decade and so far, during this decade, we have seen no sign whatsoever that real climate action is coming and that has to change,” Thunberg said in a speech in Lausanne.

“To the world leaders and those in power, I would like to say that you have not seen anything yet. You have not seen the last of us, we can assure you that. And that is the message that we will bring to the World Economic Forum in Davos next week.”

OK, let’s take all the smartphones, tablets, and laptops away from the “protesters.” Only allow them to eat veggies that they either grow themselves or buy from a local farmer. Only wear clothes that come from local sources. No fossil fueled travel. No AC or heat. Etc. Oh, right, right, they want Someone Else to suffer for their beliefs, not themselves.

Last year was the Earth’s second-hottest since records began, and the world should brace itself for more extreme weather events like Australia’s fires, the U.N. World Meteorological Organization said on Wednesday.

Well, except for all the arsonists. And warming is no proof of anthropogenic causation.

Hey, remember when were only supposed to listen to people with degrees in climate science?
