It's the latest in a wave of student protests that could affect the outcome of European Union elections.

Protesters throw a ball depicting the Earth during the"Global Strike For Future" demonstration in Stockholm on Friday, a global day of student protests that aimed to motivate world leaders to act on climate change.

The protest Friday coincided with current voting for the European Union’s assembly, which ends Sunday and is expected to show growing support for environmentally minded political parties. Mainstream parties have in this election cycle seized on climate change policies as a key issue, in part a reaction to the student protests.

In Brazil, students gathered outside the state legislature in Rio de Janeiro to deliver a letter dated from the future in which they lamented Brazil’s loss of coastline, rain forests and species. A student holds a sign up to her forehead with a message that reads in Portuguese,"Earth has lost its patience, us too," during a protest against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's environmental policies Friday in front of the state legislature in Rio de Janeiro.

What do you want to do? Turn volcanos off?

Meanwhile:

All you need to do is, boil sweat peas, peeled green grapes, carrots, and grape fruit, with a pot for sixteen days till it’s a clear plasmic solution and then oxsodization, oxsodization happens when silver and copper mix with electricity, over water and then during the winter

Well first we head to take all our dead bodies to the Mexico salt flats and lay them on the ground, then our plasma evaporates and re filters the sun, ten mins we’ll see differences, and then we all go to the suns or sons? Heaven don’t forget my ands, and to help this earth

humans can NOT change the climate

SenFeinstein says they don’t vote so they don’t have a say. She knows better than anyone

They’re so stupid...

Snowflakes

Stop buying Chinese and Indonesian crap they are the real polluters.

90% = Participated as little as possible to get out of going to school 9% = Guilt tripped by parent or teacher to attend despite wanting to go to school or disagreeing with the protest 1% = Leftists who legitimately see screaming while marching as more important than learning

Suck it up, snowflakes. We won’t be intimidated by junk science. Climate Hoax go away!

WHY don't they skip school and help the homeless and poor people?

Make a difference...invade China.

Hate to break it to you but kids will skip school for any reason. Politicizing children is never the answer.

skip school.... exactly. Like these kids have any idea about climate change. gimme a break! They can't even figure out what gender they are! (that was a JOKE kids, a JOKE)

How sad to see a bunch of kids being used as useful idiots and pawns to push the fake climate crisis hysteria.

Ah a reason to skip school for no reason whatsoever. 11 years 8 months AOCEndOfTheWorldCountDownClock

I did that in 1973 with YES, Youth for Environmental Salvation. We've come so far in 46 years 😰

Can’t be that smart. They have the planet sideways.

Good on them

Strike, it is called strike.

Stay in school, kids. It's a much better use of your time. 📚🎒🏫

Ain't the kids stupid enough today? Missing another day won't improve anything

And iPhones.

They should stay out of school until something gives, am I right?

I'm gonna end up willfully working at McDonald's unless AOCs demands are met?

I hope they pass on to these kiddo's that its up to them to hit the books hard and calculate effective solutions.. The Earth doesn't care how much you protest.. No time to be brain lazy - hit it hard..

At least they're fighting for their future, can't knock em for that

Nice

And leave massive amounts of garbage wherever they protest
