It’s always amusing when these youths whine, because they have little in the way of real world experience and knowledge. They don’t really know How Things Work, especially since you can bet that the majority of them who have graduated college or are in college aren’t taking degrees in anything that truly give them valuable knowledge
Fed up young climate activists: ‘Adults aren’t listening’
The climate change generation is saying officials are talking too much, listening too little and acting even less. And they are fed up.
“Instead of talking about how to solve the climate crisis, they negotiate about how to continue polluting,” said Mitzy Violeta, a 23-year old indigenous activist from Mexico. “Youth movements are realizing the solution isn’t going to be in international gatherings,” like the one taking place in Egypt.
“We’re upset with the inaction that’s being done,” said Jasmine Wynn, 18, of the environmental group Treeage. (the group is as far left as you’d expect, and is all about forcing Other People to change by government decree)
With decades of warmer and extreme weather ahead of them, young climate activists envision a future that has them frustrated and anxious, according to more than 130 activists questioned by The Associated Press. Most of them said they think their strikes and protests are effective. But lately in high-profile, attention-grabbing actions, a handful of activists have gone beyond skipping school to targeting art work, tires and fossil fuel depots.
And what actions are they taking in their own lives? How about we just ban them from using fossil fuels, living in anything but a tiny home, buying new clothes, taking a thousand and one photos and videos to upload to social media, and streaming the hell out of everything?
At one of the more traditional protests in New York City in September, 14-year-old Truly Hort said she was scared about the future: “I’ve always had all these dreams, and now I’m like ‘God, I can’t do that.’”
The trouble, she said, is that leaders talk about what they hope to do, “but it’s not a lot of people taking action.”
Also mentioning her anxiety at the same protest 16-year-old Lucia Dec-Prat said, “it’s one thing to worry about the future and it’s another to get out there and do something about it.”
Adults have mentally abused these children with their stories of Extreme Doom
Governments and international organizations are advancing too slowly to fight climate change, many of those interviewed said about climate conferences. A vast majority of activists asked agreed with Greta Thunberg’s characterization of climate negotiations as all talk and no action, or “blah blah blah,” as the Swedish activist put it in a speech last year.
“So rather than just making noise to contribute to the blah blah blah, make noise for action. I think that has to be the critical thing,” said 25-year-old Jevanic Henry of St. Lucia in the Caribbean. “We are driving action.”
Sounds like they are trying to force people to take action against their will. This whole thing has been about Fascist politics for decades. Being pushed by people who won’t, again, practice what they preach.
Oh, we’re listening. And we’re hearing a lot of nonsense, stupidity, ignorance, and fear-mongering by people too immature to warrant serious contemplation.
Y’all need to spend more time learning math and basic science, and less time handwringing of propaganda.
This is one of those issues that does not require a knowledge of the science. If the one and only solution to Ann issue is a new tax and global communist government, then it is a joke.

Children should be seen and not heard.
Perhaps they youngsters should consider that we old folks have heard all this bullshit before and reject the newest version for what it is: “crisis” by design geared toward raising money for a select few who are in on the scam.
And science is not something that can be decided by “consensus.” It IS something that is under continual adjustment and questioning.
Commenter typed: And science is not something that can be decided by “consensus.” It IS something that is under continual adjustment and questioning.
That is true, to an extent. But since scientific theories are not proved, scientific consensus is valuable for making practical decisions.
The mechanism of gravity is not proved, that is, the question of the physical basis for the moon to orbit the Earth, for Earth to orbit the Sun, for our massive spiral galaxy to stay together, rotating around a massive black hole? Why does an astronaut weigh 200 lbs on Earth but only 76 lbs on Mars? Why can Tiger hit a golf ball 300 yds at Pebble Beach but 1800 yds on the Sea of Tranquility beach? Why does our atmosphere hang around? Gravity!! Einstein theorized that gravity was a mass-dependent “bending” of the spacetime continuum and that gravity decreased with distance! Yikes.
In any event, the scientific consensus is that whatever the mechanism, enough evidence has accumulated to support the reliance on gravity for calculating tides, space travel, ballistics, the paths of planets and asteroids, centrifugation of nuclear material, etc.
In any event scientific concensus is whatever the democommies say it is. Ever notice? We can have all the evedence in the world, pictures, affisavits etc. and there still was no election steal. They won’t even look.
Aside from the fact that the left derives its “concensus” from who they pay and/or employ to provide it.
They are grifters hiring carny folk to steal our money and freedom. If you understand that then you can understand all they do. You can understand how a giant hobo ogre and dead guys can win elections and men can win beauty contests and women’s swim meets. THEY. ARE. LIARS!
They don’t just depend on the population to be ignorant. They create it by turning public schools and universities into centers of indoctrination.
Because Polio vaccine works, COVID vax must be good too. If you don’t accept the emergency use only drug, you must be against all vaccines. it doesn’t matter how many doctors and medical researchers publish opposite conclusions.
Because we understand and accept gravity, AGW must be true too. If you don’t accept the unprovable theory, you must be anti-science. It doesn’t matter how many scientists write papers with opposite conclusions.
Of course, back when I was in college, we didn’t need to just accept that stuff was true. We did observations and derived the formulae ourselves. We understood gravity because we observed it, measured it and calculated its strength. We compared observations to theory. You can’t do that with AGW. No one can independently collect all the data themselves to ensure it is reliable. That’s why they picked it. They tried using hole in the ozone, but then real science determined that it was a natural thing that happened every year. So… Memory hole it.
Lucifer,
Can you link to the most probative credible evidence? We’ll look.
Thanks.
To wingers, everything is part of a giant conspiracy aligned against white conservative, christian men! All greivance, all the time!
Lt Governor Fetterman whupped Mehmet Oz, who turned out to be a horribly flawed candidate. DonJon promoted minor celebrities, expecting their name recognition to carry the day. Mehmet, Kari Lake, Herschel, JD Vance, Palin… Vance DID succeed in deep red Ohio.
