“On an international scale it's women at every single level.” - The next generation of climate change activism is being led by young woman and they are unapologetically angry. via TheFeedSBS

Above: Liberal MP Craig Kelly sits down to debate two of the young climate change activists.

The reaction from politicians to the last strike was pretty much there should be less activism and more schoolwork, what do you have to say to that? TRITIAN: I just have to say as well, I think that having someone who’s a Prime Minister of a country, and not only that but a democratic country, try and repress people from voicing their opinions even of itself undermines our own democracy.JEAN: I think so much of it is frustration because it starts off as people our age become more and more informed and educated about climate change, it is so scary. In our lifetimes we will see far more drastic natural disasters.

JEAN: It's definitely women, particularly in the organising level. On an international scale it's women at every single level.JEAN: I think it probably is something to do with the fact that marginalised communities care more about social issues and they're not benefiting from systems of oppression.

'Barely out of nappies': Academic takes aim at students' climate change strikeStudents striking over climate change inaction are described as victims of politically correct teaching by an academic and author. Jesus wept. If you annoy that particular academic you are doing something right. And their young age means they have a lot more at stake than an adult. Besides, studying climate change means they are making practical use of their English, maths and science skills. FFS it's not a strike if you do it on a weekend, and to say 'seven or eight-year-old kids [are] barely out of nappies' is just rude (or, you're doing parenting very wrong) StrikeForClimate
