A growing collection of young climate change activists appears to be touching a nerve in Germany and elsewhere with weekly Friday demonstrations that point directly at the older generation for potentially ruining the young people's future.

Students take part in a demonstration against climate change in Dresden, Germany, on March 15, 2019.

The demonstrations that caught on in Germany originated in Sweden in August with then-15-year-old Greta Thunberg, a climate activist who has been staging school strikes on Fridays in front of the parliament building in Stockholm. Thunberg, who is now 16 and expected to attend Friday’s rally in Berlin, has emerged as a global poster child for the movement with a brief but powerfulbluntly shaming climate negotiators at a United Nations conference in Katowice, Poland.

More than 25,000 grade school, high school and college students defiantly skipped school last week to participate in a Berlin rally, and loud gatherings of about 10,000 people each were reported in many other cities, such as Hamburg and Cologne. The primary goal of the school strike protests, she said, is to spur more meaningful action from elected leaders and industry against climate change.

Everyone pushing that climate hoax needs to be arrested. It's a Ponzi scheme.

They need a spanking & a parental escort to freaking school.

Always easier to blame someone else. Would be interesting to see if their lifestyle is more ecofriendly, e.g. photographs of streets after their demonstration. If they do nothing themselves, they have no Rights to point fingers at others.

It’s a hoax and their paid protestors organized by Gorge Soros.

On what planet does the climate not change?

And then these young people will grow old and the new young generation will blame them. Young people are stupid. That's why the left loves them so much.
