Tired of woke, virtue signalling children.
Huge well done to the person who pulled up John Humphries BBCr4today on ClimateChange for asking the wrong question. How different our world could be if the correct and timely questions are asked by the people who are in positions to ask them, when they need to be asked.
GretaThunberg I skipped high school twice. First for job in movie Babylon with vindiesel and second time for strike :)
People in this thread are forgetting that by the time these kids may have graduated university, it will probably already be too late. They’re more switched on than you are.
School pupils' strike tomorrow !!!
Never was it more apt that children should be seen and not heard. Get to school, brat.
Climate change is now
And I skipped school to drink cider and smoke fags and hang out with bad boys. How times change..
She skips one hour on Fridays to protest outside government buildings. It’s not like she’s missing a lot of school or sitting at home playing games. Read the article people.
Again. Did millions of Vietnam protesters stop the war? No. Power and money did. Asia gives shit about a rich wealthy child with pr in the back. Only wealthy west europens Cate. And not enough.
I APPLAUDE that Greta Movement is statting to ger critisised as in this thread and in US. Its about time. This accomplish nothing. Nothing.
I hope all of the parents get fined for unauthorised absence. What a joke encouraging kids to strike. There are surely more pragmatic ways to get this point across. You are just teaching kids to go straight for the protest vote when they want something.
My daughter is going to do the same this Summer from June 3rd-17th. The fact it coincides with the family holiday to Spain has nothing to do with it. I support her all the way 🌞👍🏻
I used to skip school for the pub or for a bunk up with my Girl friend . Times have changed
Like kids ever need much of a reason to skip school
please tell us what this has taught kids of today ? to abuse others that have done nothing wrong and instead of teaching them to go after the abusers of the problem sad to see but it's not fair people suffer for abusers
GretaThunberg Save the planet 🌎🌍🌏🌬🆘send CO2➡️ space 🛰Satellites 🛰 to magnetically interrupt the Earth's protective magnetic field temporarily to let the Sun erode CO2 to space over the oceans.(Firebreak) ~~| LookHERE⬇️deflect asteroids?
Climate change CANNOT BE AFFECTED BY MAN. because climate change is not man made.get back to school you lazy child.
GretaThunberg Come on 'Grown ups!!' It's Your Responsibility! Don't put it on your children,, go on a WorkStrike4Climate Since it's Money, Corp 'profit' that destroys the earth, animals and people.
so what did cause the medieval warm period ? maybe she missed that lesson in school
any excuse is ok by me i also hated school
Give her a good leathering, then expell her
If humans did not release CO2 trapped in oil deposits back into the atmosphere, it would guarantee the extinction of life on earth.
GretaThunberg Wish I could have got away with that as an excuse when I bunked off.
Don't major in engineering then.
Hefty fine for the parents!
Bet your mum & dad will be thrilled when the fine drops through the letterbox.
Little less “activism” a bit more school.
Like anyone really gives a shit about climate change or the planet, least of all the younger generation who are the most bloody wasteful. Virtual signalling bollocks!
UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE FORGOT TO TELL THESE CHILDREN THE ARE GOING TO BRING BACK THE CANE AND STRAPS, AS WE LEAVE THE E.U. WHO STOPED THIS ABUSE, AND FOR THE HOUSE OF LORDS A SPECIAL WHIPPING WITH THE CAT, TO BE ON T.V.!!
If they gave up their phones designer gear etc then I think the rest of the population may say yes you can join in the debate to stop the destruction of our beautiful planet.
fran_b__ 'We only borrow the planet from our children for a short time, we do not own it. We are only the supervisors which oversee the whole picture for our children. We are not here to destroy it for them.'
We’re with you! And before the counter arguments come in - just because we are society reliant on fossil fuels etc now... does not mean we should accept that - we (& our governments) should be driving policy forward to get away from them ASAP! nocomplacencyallowed
GretaThunberg it's time the young people in this country stood up for the planet and the wildlife, they will live in a barren planet unless they get angry and take action!
Well done,bet your parents will be happy when they get a fine
Protest on a Saturday. School is a requirement by law and a privilege. This is nothing more then kids acting out at a time when they should be learning discipline. All students should be punished for skipping school regardless of the reasoning.
Complete brain washing by these left wing liberal teachers
GretaThunberg Go Greta. Bring to WA
Good girl - if my kids were still at school I’d be encouraging them to do the same.
= dear members of parliament please stop universe. for the weather is not quit as i like it. please stop the natural cycles of the universe so humans can live. government reply = we are intent to develop control of the weather expect sky chemicals nuclre tests
Thats handy......🌏 says get an education and learn how to sort it out........
BBC.. give us a scientists with facts, statistics, projections. Dont give us a child who knows nothing Try to be a news channel, not Hello magazine
When I was at school we were facing the next ice age...…. but I skipped school to drink beer (or cider) smoke cigarettes and chase girls ..but then I never felt a need to lie about it
I skipped school every week to go fishing
Get educated and you might come up with technological solutions to reduce climate change and tackle issues...
Yep - well that's gonna work.
Ridiculous
Kids these days be like........... no fun at all involved
wagging is still wagging love.
arieasona Ga bakal lulus sekolah nih haha
GretaThunberg I excitedly offered to take my daughter (her school has been so supportive!) who declined saying “I will be less likely to be an astronaut and scientist and get off this polluted planet if I miss Maths mummy”. Some kids are like Greta...others a tad more mercenary. 😭
So she’ll be thick as well as brainwashed
I wonder if parents get fined...
I skipped school All the way in the 70's 🤣
Yes and then skip school to protest about Trade in Pangolin scales, Snow Leopards, Syrian Children, Starving Yemeni Kids, Dancing Bears, and so on....
You have a British citizen skipping school for full days every Friday here in Stockholm together with Greta - my daughter is both British and Swedish- and stands out for 8 hours every Friday in Freezing conditions
It was only years later when Holly realised that it was this action that had led to her not getting the exam results she needed to get to university, which would have help pave the way for her to discover the cure for the world energy problems once and for all. causeandeffect
Good luck with that love 🙄 Climate change is never going to happen. It’s population control that’s needed, nothing more
Reflect about your choice during detention...
GretaThunberg More pupils should do that!
You’re wasting your time and risking your education.
The replies to this tweet are awful. People accusing the girl of using this as an excuse to skip school, others saying she's wasting time... Don't you get that it's from small things like this that we can make a change and that young people can do something too?
GretaThunberg So? What exactly are you doing to demand climate action, BBC? Farting into the breeze?
I used to skip school to smoke spliffs and watch neighbours
GretaThunberg
GretaThunberg If you can't skip school you can help by signing this petition!
What is she actually doing? Collecting litter? Turning off home heating? Walking instead of bus/car? Cancelling her foreign holiday flight? Or pointless virtue signalling and posturing? Hhmm

You go kids, because adult have no time for the world falling apart. It is an idealism they can not afford; they have become slaves to payments and bosses.
Good for you. The old dinosaurs who run the world seem unwulling and incapable of taking action. Go Holly !
Enjoy your work packing sausages
Any excuse!
Silly little girl. I blame the parents - if she was my daughter I'd be marching her to school by the scruff of her neck!
Mist kids will skip school just to have time off and play their xbox etc. This is a stupid misguided event. My boys school has sensibly refused to let kids 'strike'
Most kids just say they’ve got guts ache or the shits 💩 but you have to blame climate change 🤦♂️
As Karl Pilkington says...... 'BULLSHIT!!!'
hope her parents are fined, can't have one rule 4 one... future employers will note this girl is trouble
A strike just before half term commences, excellent idea. I wonder how many will simply go off on holiday rather than remain and protest.
And this is going to achieve what exactly apart from breaking the law! Maybe charge the parents for wasting teachers and tax payers time and money!
Over 2,000 £1 engagements rings have been sold at Poundland, who are the lucky people who will receive one today? What would you say to your partner who gives you a £1 engagement ring? comments please! RT
Exactly the same reason why myself & thebuets use to wag school back in the day. Forward thinkers 😉
Good on you kid I admire your passion for the subject it's a shame most of the rest of us can't share the same passion and your future will be what suffers because of that.
Come on most of these kids poo hasn't turned from yellow to brown and yet some daft jock is going to listen to them god I so hope Scotland get their independance soon because they are embarrassing
I could imagine that working with my Dad when I was that age 39 years ago😳
And it's her parents who will.face the consequences...so I say, get your sorry backside into school!
Teachers should stop indoctrinating this propaganda into young gullible children
We need to find a way to drastically reduce the rate of population growth
Disgraceful
A snowflake speaks 🙄 let’s hope her personal life is as pristine as her current surroundings
ABSENTEE FINES FOR THEIR PARENTS THEN mmmmmmm
Go back to school. You'll achieve more that way in the long run. Even for climate change
Average earths temperature change in the last 100 yrs., .5% increase, go back to school, dont worry you will still be live in 12 years! Don't believe everything you hear and only half of what you read, trust but verify!
Stop dogging it and get to school.......
Lies
That’s up there with the dog eat my homework
Like kids are bothered about anything but a day off. Maybe if they were educated they’d know that scientists are backtracking on the earlier claims of “we’re done for in 12 years”. Fake. News.
Lighten up sweetheart. I used to skip TO school, rain, hail or shine.
Instead of 'skipping school' may I suggest they increase their studies in Science, engineering, Math and biology. Removing one's self from education is not going to help the future generations repair the planet.
I did exactly the same during double physics...
She'd be better off spending the time learning about the natural sciences with the aim of actually doing something for the world in future instead of being a silly virtue-signalling baby, being exploited by hacks like you.
Or go to school figure out how to stop it, if their was ever ⬜️ 1st world privileged this would be it. 👋🏾
I can imagine using that excuse in my day.... 😂
Stupidity is incurable.
Me too in the 80s. I was a forward thinker. Me and my son will hang with you on the unemployment line.
Stay in school and learn about the precession of the earth, the natural heating and cooling cycle of the earth. If you skip school you won't learn about these stuff no one ever mentions.
It is called Global Warming; if you change the hypothesis the theory has failed.
Arrest her parents...to demand her attendance... Let's see who wins...
😂😂😇
Good on you! Lesser people here are scoffing but don't heed them. You and your generation are vital for the survival of this planet. Go girl!
Just a new excuse I suppose
Don’t parents get jailed for their little shits skipping school? Obviously not on the left tho eh?
Perhaps you should treasure the priveldge of your education in order to help fix the problem.
Good luck to her on that one ! Where she stand on Brexit
Kids will skip school en masse for anything. Nutters.
mmmkay
Yeah, ignorance is bliss.
More demanding, what is it with demands ?
Yeah, right there is the reason why you're being mugged off by the Climate Change lobbiests.
Wow! What HUGE SACRIFICE....said no one ever.
You can only skip so many days. I guess she can stay in the current grade and do it again next year. These kids are being ruined by the parents and media.
I skipped school because it was utter shit, atleast she has an excuse. Good on her. 👏🏻😂
The UK is walking away from the biggest climate guardians - the EU.
These kids are way too indoctrinated for their age.
Yeah that's why I skipped school too 🤨
Go to school get knowledge then fight don’t be stupid
meanwhile she doesn't know how to do algebra
Did it work?
