If you were educated you'd know that you are trying you are disrupting one of the better countries. Try China/US/India instead of pretending so you can skive off school.
"why should we go to school if you wont listen to the educated" - get educated, derr!

What a stupidly ignorant placard those children are holding up there. I wonder who encouraged them to write that?
The placard is fine, it's rather clever i think... they have a point. Learn for what future? If there is none.. well..

Yes UK isn't too bad on emissions, but who is to say China... Us etc.. aren't taking note of these UK school children protests?

Any action is better than no action.
//The placard is fine, it's rather clever i think//

I see nothing clever in discouraging education.
Discouraging education by trying to educate people who feel confident in their ill advised thoughts.. trump for example. Very confident in himself, but climate change is of course real
Real or otherwise, it's no excuse to discourage education.
I would be more impressed if these and other protesting children would do so at the weekend and in their spare time. This is just an excuse for a day off.

Vulcan, kids being primed ....
Would be like saying people in work should only strike once they've clocked out.
the whole point of workers striking is the withdrawal of their labour, depriving their employers of the means to conduct business.

if kids withdraw themselves from school, what leverage, exactly, do they thus exercise over..... well who exactly? the only thing they're doing is compromising their own education, their own prospects. the schools don't care, the government don't care, and those societies who are doing the most damage don't even know they exist.
Yes, but you're also paying more attention to it. And it *is* at least keeping the story in the public eye a little more.

As to the placard, I kind of see the point. The message from scientists -- ie, from the educated -- is pretty unambiguous, and it's also pretty universally ignored, or at least not taken nearly so seriously as it should be.
People who work have a skill to offer their employer, that's why they go on strike during working-hours. These children just want a day off school. When we did it many moons ago I suppose it was called playing truant.
" Would be like saying people in work should only strike once they've clocked out."
People who go on strike usually arrange it to disrupt as many people as possible, these children are disrupting their education to take a day off. It seems it is acceptable to miss education if you're protesting about something but not have a holiday.
Most of the brats will not know what climate change means. They've just gone along for the ride and a day off.
They will if they are taught well, Jackdaw.....both at school and at home. Some of us did that for our children and pupils. Not all.... but some of us.

I've forgotten.....didn't you teach?
Yes I did, but far more important things than so-called green issues.
Ahhh....I see......that is very telling.

jim: "the message from scientists -- ie, from the educated -- is pretty unambiguous, and it's also pretty universally ignored," - not true, there are constant moves toward clean initiatives, UK and the Europe. Anti pollution taxes, Ulez, congestion charging electric cars, constant focus on renewables. Solar panels, windmills, gawd they reported we'd gone a record fortnight without using coal the other day. There's always more but I would not say it's being ignored.
I didn't realise you'd finally relented in your opposition to Climate Science, TTT :)
Question Author
I have never been opposed to climate science, search all my posts, I know the climate is constantly changing I've never denied that.
