If this had been even five years ago I would have thought, "Well, maybe this is bit much." But at this point I think we should expect this kind of civil disobedience...and if we don't listen to these kids now, the disturbances produced by their frustration will get much worse. There's a lot of bravery in what they're doing and I respect it. They are right to think officialdom is ignoring the pleas of their generation, because it is.
BREAKING: we just shut down YET ANOTHER speech by US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, whose bank recently insured a $400,000,000 gas plan. Last time we confronted her she had us arrested & jailed. But we were not deterred. We came back. We always will. Respect us or expect us.

The problem is not calming their disturbances. The problem is climate change, and the first essential step is to stop using fossil fuels and disposable plastics. That is what they want you to talk about. Please discuss what really matters.

Why would you have thought that?

I was part of the anti-globalization left around the turn of the century. I did a few dumb things but was mostly disciplined and focused. I prioritized the actual people around me (including those in opposition) and the learning process. If we don't, we are lost.

Yes, we should listen to children and do what they're saying. LOL. Is the globe "boiling?"

I like this reply, but the disturbances of the climate emergency are what they want you to pay attention to. Don’t fear them— fear human extinction. Fear the climate.

5 years ago was already too late for the carbon cycle, which has a 10 year delay. There is no stopping our climate karma now. Only mitigating.
