Thanks for covering this brilliant reporting. Just back from our small town protest supporting the youth protest. Over 400 people turned out the largest the council has ever seen. No councillors were present initially, eventually three turned up. The council leader mentioned they will discuss the climate emergency and followed with we need a mixed energy economy ie business as usual. Next month we will kick this months turn out into 2nd place. It does not stop at declaring a climate emergency, we need to keep up the pressure and the momentum.
However this is just 5% or less of Young people ... The privileged class finally shitting bricks because the future is doomed .. outside this posh echo chamber millions and millions of youth and children live without basic rights, basic medical care and education, and even minimum nutrition. Amazing halo of propaganda lasts just about a little while ... While the vast majority of humanity remains as is ... Bravo greenwashing and the Joan of Climate Arc!!!
Humans have put back into the atmosphere a small fraction of the CO2 that nature has taken out. Plants are prospering because of this. The CO2 levels need to be higher. The people I listen too are the experienced scientists who have spent much of their lives on studying and researching climate. Scientists who are honest enough to give us their truthful opinion and who have an in-depth understanding of the Earth's climate. Most of these scientists are retired and have no further interest in gaining money. They are genuine in their expressed beliefs and want to expose the lies. Of course they are funded for making presentations, for their accommodation, travel expenses etc. but it is a pittance compared to what the other side would pay them. (The globalist elites of the NWO who own the central banking cartel.) There are many videos of older highly acclaimed scientists exposing the alarmists. Eg , Dr Don Easterbrook, Murry Salby, Prof Ian Plimer, Prof Bob Carter, Prof Fred Singer, Prof Freeman Dyson, Prof Patrick Michaels, Prof Garth Paltridge, Dr Richard Siegmund Lindzen, etc. Older scientists can more easily speak their mind because they have nothing to lose w.r.t. career prospects.
I'm Amazed by these teens. They are the future and they want a future, but these giant corporations that effect the environment like fossil fuel companies will be a tough enemy to tackle. However, they are many more of them that believe in the climate Chaos compared to the greedy executives and politicians. I look forward to seeing this progress into something much bigger in the months to come.
@Freddy Krueger My dad used to be a pro boxer, and he was pretty good. He said for real guts, look at Colin Kaepernick and everybody who is willing to face the haters. My dad doesn't hit kids, and he told me not to hit kids ever except in self-defense. A couple times, I had to, but they were okay after a few weeks because of their faces hitting into the lockers at school. Their dad hits them supposably at home and I feel bad about it, they are Christians big time and don't know any better. I think they are some of the MAGA kids. That is really all they know, and their mom moved out. I forgot to say if you've ever heard of Jesus, he never hit kids in the Bible or whatever.
@Freddy Krueger I had a class in science, if you've heard of it. It's where you don't make things up, you use experiments. I looked at NASA, which is the Space Agency. That's one place to see how "Carbon" is basically climate change. There's 200 places scientists work around the world where the experiment keeps being the same results. I found all them where the NASA web site shows it all. I think some people are just afraid, or cowerds to really tell the truth instead of just church. PS what is a Bullock.

I do appreciate that the young are getting involved. However, I think it's not enough to protest. And the not-so-young need to be getting involved too. Those responsible for the destruction need to be called out by name and legal means need to be sought to take them down. Anyone who has taken hand in allowing global destruction should be removed from public office or corporate position and not allowed to lead again if they cannot change their ways. People with knowledge of the law need to step up as well because that is what these criminals hide behind. Organizations need to be established to consolidate public voice and give substance and action to public grievance... they need to be organized in such a way that protects them from being infiltrated and rendered toothless. Certain rich fossil-fuel industrialists need to be gone after legally and economically and green technologies need to be raised up to supplant them. Take them down by the same means they used to exalt themselves. Get rid of corporate personhood as it is used to protect the greedy. First and foremost, the public needs to be EDUCATED. This country needs a new focus that goes beyond the business as usual attitude we've had until now. Without that, we'll get too comfortable and return to old and bad habits.

Now if they address these key issues and actually focus on making an active change and not just protesting or talking then there will be a huge positive change or impact, but until they do so nothing will happen.

As an educator, these young people have given me renewed hope about the future. They are so well informed on the issues and severity of climate change and show more courage and integrity than those two and three times their ages. I would easily vote for anyone of them over these charlatans in Washington. We’ve got to do better as a society. Thank you for covering this in a meaningful way DN. 🙏🏾
When you were a child you probably made a lot of sense also. Many of today's marching youth may one day run their countries. I just hope that if I am alive to see it, the youth do not become jaded adults!!
Sabi it really is a shame but i mean it’s very telling about what our society has become; especially for people who are supposed to be adults. that is pitiful.
That's what has impressed me - their eloquence, knowledge and their will to act rather than to continue the Bla Bla discussions that too many politicians have.

@@Commodore4eva You're not being rude. I too have my doubts about how much some of these young people are doing and would like to ask what they are doing in their lives to reduce their personal carbon footprint. How do they get to school for example. Shopping habits? However, since they are not able to vote - many are under 18 - being loud is one of the strongest weapons they have to finally wake up politicans and industry to take action. If the German government's belittling comment yesterday as they confirmed the results of resolutions of a "climate package". I shall translate: "The package is an example of what politics is. That's the difference between politics, science and impatient young people. Politics is that which is possible." Merkel has done so little for protecting the environment during her (too) long chancellorship and wasted the opportunities that Germany, as a strong and wealthy country had. These young people are making a noise about their futures - having one. Us older folks have had good lives on the whole and natural catastrophes were not as common as they are now, whatever climate deniers say. Floods, fires and tornadoes are normal events these days in too many places around the world. What concrete things do you think today's young should do - to prove they are not just talking, but also acting?

@@stebarg Don't listen, they aren't scientists. Real scientists know that you can't predict something never happened. And in Germany (before the climate strike) thee biggest demonstration ever was 500.000.
I gave up meat and dairy! Bought a hybrid car. Changed to LEDs. Bring my own coffee thermos to get coffee and only use paper straws. Recycle, reuse, reduce.
Not enough. Before you do anything STOP BREATHING and STOP producing. Go back thousands of yrs and live in mud huts wearing leaves. Until then it's all BS
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix No giving up meat and dairy does not make you a vegan. Do some research on veganism before you criticize. Please also do some research on factory farming and the environment. Also, the planet will be fine it's us humans that won't. Thank you!!!
Sunrise Sunset i know . Is called plant based diet . Veganism is a way of life . As no harming any animal . Nor using any of their parts . So no leather , no honey , no natural wax . Not even some colorante as carmine . Which is extracted from an insect . Vegan is a word some people dislike. But accept easier the plant based concept
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix You said veganism makes you unhealthy, less fertile and dumber...how so? Also, you are the one that brought up vegan for a comment that was talking about meat and dairy!!!

And so it was to be, in the end, the Mother Earth harnessed the power of its most marginalized creatures, the little girls, in order to save herself. For who else could at once break the heart of and inspire courage and determination in the apathetic hearts and souls of the global masses but the fiercest and kindest of humans? And so it went, sparking fires of resistance and healing around the globe until once again the world could be wild and free.
It going to take more than just planting a tree. Sorry but I remember from when I was a child about the car's and there admissions that were hurting are environment. I have seen the changes. There's not as much snow on the Mt,s that I have lived around my hole life. It's sad they are beautiful but they were more majestic and beautiful with more snow on them. Now you just see the glaciers. I am so proud of are young people taking on this fight. My prayers are with you all. I am over fifty now so I have seen a lot. There was a commercial with an American Indian standing near a highway and people throwing garbage out of there car,s . He was crying. That moved me even as a child. I don't know how many times I cried over what was going then. This has been a long time coming, so sad it took this long. Please stay in the good fight for are mother earth. As a woman I know I would not be happy with people putting all kinds of holes in me and then putting toxic waste into them. That just one of the reasons she is sick right now. I feel her pain. Are youths who are involved. Thank you so so very much for caring and fighting for your future. God bless everyone. Angels are watching all and can help you. Just ask them. You are born with one that not all of them that are around us always. Love and peace on earth is all I have ever wanted. Love and peace be with all of you. Mt,s are bare.
It does one's heart good to see these young people all united in a common cause! Perhaps though they should be provided with simple uniforms and instead of each having somewhat untidy banners they should be issued with professionally- made ones. It would also be a good idea, I think, for some form of rehearsal to take place before future demonstrations to ensure cohesion and balance, without of course detracting from the essential spontaneity of the events.

please remember, that it is not just the young whose lives are being affected, but there are many folks who care and are still full of life, and have the energy to make changes in small, and major ways. yes, we still have dreams too
The young Afghan activist attending international school in Thailand got close to to the truth with his less than optimistic observation at the end. Basically we're past the crucial tipping points except the Arctic Blue ocean event. That means that things are about to get truly drastic. But I love these young people fighting the good fight.
Such thoughtful, intelligent, well spoken young people. Thank you Democracy Now for giving them a voice. I hope that someone will address the issue of putting a global crisis in the lap of the current rulers and asking whether you think they will use this emergency to clamp down on people's civil liberties rather that actually address the crisis...
Good Job young people. Don't let no one discourage you from doing good for yourselves and future generations. Continue fighting the good fight and don't hesitate. All the love for you guys. No one have to tell you otherwise. God bless and become what are you here for fighters for a better world.
This young Mexican American Women's command of standard English and Greta's as well for that matter, puts the majority of contemporary adult American's to shame. RT once again illuminating the issue in a very compelling way with these articulate brilliant very young activists! Wow Illhan Omar's daughter as Well!✊
I hate to be negative but as Amy said these demonstrations are the size of the ones when the Iraq war started and we all know what happened there absolutely nothing the only way to change climate or bring about some kind of change is to get rid of these Republicans
Oil production increased more under Obama than under any other president in history. He was also the dude that opened the arctic up to exploration. I believe you meant to say "...is to get rid of all of them." Partisan identity politics isn't helpful. Wrong target.

So, seriously, buy these to flip substations off-grid, 1-Mw/1300hp, fits a container, 75 replace the Russian nuclear barge. The big deal: "50-year no-inputs warranty", 17yr R&D, Belgian: technokontrol, the RF-5000, sparkless for use with explosives. For off-grid, grid-tied home farm, ranch: 10kw/$15k, 5kw/$8k "20-year no-inputs warranty", S.Korean: infinitysav, made to wire into power panels. That's $750/year for 10kw of 24x7 power, the 5kw fits a pickup toolbox, is quiet, no fumes indoors, no fuels, $400/year + interest. Magnet motors drive these, it's why they don't use fuels or inputs for DECADES, only upkeep, found doing trade studies, neodymiums are 90% full power 1000-years hence. "Support these Companies", these are the only two I found who put in the long-term R&D to have production ready products to sell zero emissions, tiny carbon-footprint power. We literally need billions of them, they are bleeding edge machines.
@@pohakumana The infinitysav are 1/5th of 5-cents a kwh, a whopping penny per kwh over the warranty period. No deep-cycle batteries to buy with a 20-yr life, tiny carbon-footprint vs both; it's 24×7, 100% Duty-Cycle, Continuous power. There's not enough silicon for all panels on Earth, best so far a Tawainese team prototyped a 20-micron thin-film 98% efficient using nanotubes in the silicon layer, ref. Dalai Lama's physics event.

@@pohakumana No affiliation, my designs are product lines, selling IP by contract, Earnest Money only, no royalties. The hot ticket? Palm sized device chargers on up, no batteries, never need charging, neodymiums last 90% full power 1000-years, oh duh, that's more than a sound bite.
@@ttmallard Send me a 1000w battery, the one I have sucks. Tech isn't affordable until it becomes saturated in the market. Big screens are a few hundred bucks now, they used to a few grand. I don't need a palm charger, for what? I need to power a house/shop with a welder, tablesaw, a kiln all of which use 220. I'd need a field of solar panels.
@@njosborne6152 I don't know for this particular video. Most (or many) You Tube videos have it, I've been around here since 2011 and I watch a lot of videos. I also know Democracy Now does it's own transcripts (as opposed to automated), maybe it took a few hours?
WE must not only match as activist but act as activist. Simple solutions: we must SERIOUSLY REDUCE OUR CONSUMPTION! We must resist our appetite to resist the corruption in power and the destruction and gluttony of capitalism.
Proud of the young people but disappointed in the rest of us for knowing and not fighting decades ago letting our system, corporations & Leaders not take action
As I said when we first saw The Picture of Greta sitting all alone on her Friday School Strike in Sweden It is a shame that our children have to even do this !!! I still feel that way but it IS amazing to FINALLY BE HEARD !!!! THANK YOU TO ALL RAINBOW WARRIORS AROUND THE WORLD !! Our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters are finally being heard !! Also* *Nasratullah* * has anyone been planting indigenous trees herbs grasses ? It can turn your area around . So many desert areas are planting and storing clean water in water catchment systems for springs, floods , and rains, the animals are fed on small patches of ground , moved to another and feed again keeping packed together all day . as each day passes and animals do what animals do while breaking up the soil surface with hooves and cultivating any seeds and mulch the soil becomes more fertile and cattle return grass seeds to earth so they will grow Or you can grow small Diverse Crops on small lots created by Human and Animal the natural way . when green and roots return then it holds moisture which cools the air and traps the water which emptys into wells and aquifers …. so on so forth . check out the many videos on reversing desertification, it has many ideas depending on climate and landscape ! Take Care and thank you for all you do !!
Just look at these amazing young adults that made up their own minds with the information they collected around them and the world ! I was wondering how children would react to the difference in movies and pictures Then seeing the reality of other children in horrible conditions … well Now …?
My fear related to climate change is that there is so much momentum behind fossil fuels, it like a car traveling at a high speed using amazing amounts of fuel, and we may not be able slow down fast enough to stop the feed back loop - upon us.....
....and a child shall lead them... These children don't see the emperors invisible clothes and aren't afraid to say so! Everything is NOT alright! Their future is at stake and only action NOW is acceptable!
The shame is not just on political leaders, but voting adults who have allowed these corrupt politicians to stay in power and threaten our very existence.
We need to eliminate the PETRO-DOLLAR, and go back to Gold Standard, before our government will even think about a Green new deal! I believe our country is going to get crushed, before we change!
I will be out there on the 27th in Cleveland OH! If anyone else knows of any events taking place before next Friday please let me know! IF NOT NOW, WHEN? IF NOT YOU, WHO?
I think, there are so many more people (like me) who are not able to participate themselves, but who are grateful for everybody who marches...
Definitely. I have a disability so couldn't participate but made refreshments for those who were, I know many can't do that but there may be something folks can do.

Of course they are funded for making presentations, for their accommodation, travel expenses etc. but it is a pittance compared to what the other side would pay them. (The globalist elites of the NWO who own the central banking cartel.)
There are many videos of older highly acclaimed scientists exposing the alarmists. Eg , Dr Don Easterbrook, Murry Salby, Prof Ian Plimer, Prof Bob Carter, Prof Fred Singer, Prof Freeman Dyson, Prof Patrick Michaels, Prof Garth Paltridge, Dr Richard Siegmund Lindzen, etc.
Older scientists can more easily speak their mind because they have nothing to lose w.r.t. career prospects.
As an educator, these young people have given me renewed hope about the future. They are so well informed on the issues and severity of climate change and show more courage and integrity than those two and three times their ages. I would easily vote for anyone of them over these charlatans in Washington. We’ve got to do better as a society. Thank you for covering this in a meaningful way DN. 🙏🏾
These young people should be running our government. It's a shame that children make more sense than the president or any politician out there.
When you were a child you probably made a lot of sense also. Many of today's marching youth may one day run their countries. I just hope that if I am alive to see it, the youth do not become jaded adults!!
@@denisejohnson2960 ❤️
Sabi it really is a shame but i mean it’s very telling about what our society has become; especially for people who are supposed to be adults. that is pitiful.
@@dariushertzog Yes absolutely! It makes me so sad.
These children must be heard.....let them resonate in hearts of voters and advocate commitment to change ar the polls

THANK YOU ALL AT DEMOCRACY NOW !!!!
RESPECT 👊🏾😎✌🏾. . .
It is a bogus movement. Can't you see it?
Wow, these kids are so smart, articulate and compassionate. Awesome.
Love and respect you Democracy Now for putting climate news at the top of your headlines. Other news seems trite.
Wow, wow, wow!!! Keep up the good fight everyone!!!!!
I'll be out on Sunday Sept 22nd, in PA, USA

Np 😊 thank you for your activism !!
Gratifying to hear the clarity conviction wisdom intelligence and determination of these wonderful youth.
... Yeah... now we need the grownup population to get off their asses and do the right thing.
We are striking and teaching here today in Costa Rica too ! : ). Juntos ✌💑
Amy you are a marvelous Lady and I hope to meet with you some day. So proud of you dear Lady
Look at just how much sense these young people make. They are speaking the truth just like Marianne Williamson!
That's what has impressed me - their eloquence, knowledge and their will to act rather than to continue the Bla Bla discussions that too many politicians have.
@@lindseyhaas6639 Yes, it made me quite emotional to hear them speak with such maturity and passion, they are great examples.
@@lindseyhaas6639 well I'm not trying to be rude but I rather play devils, advocate, here. From everything I've seen and heard, the vast majority if not all of them but a small percentage are not actively doing anything to help address the climate change emergency. Also, there seems to be an issue with them using their opinion as scientific fact. Now if they address these key issues and actually focus on making an active change and not just protesting or talking then there will be a huge positive change or impact, but until they do so nothing will happen.
@@Commodore4eva You're not being rude.
I too have my doubts about how much some of these young people are doing and would like to ask what they are doing in their lives to reduce their personal carbon footprint. How do they get to school for example. Shopping habits?
However, since they are not able to vote - many are under 18 - being loud is one of the strongest weapons they have to finally wake up politicans and industry to take action. If the German government's belittling comment yesterday as they confirmed the results of resolutions of a "climate package". I shall translate: "The package is an example of what politics is. That's the difference between politics, science and impatient young people. Politics is that which is possible."
Merkel has done so little for protecting the environment during her (too) long chancellorship and wasted the opportunities that Germany, as a strong and wealthy country had.
These young people are making a noise about their futures - having one. Us older folks have had good lives on the whole and natural catastrophes were not as common as they are now, whatever climate deniers say. Floods, fires and tornadoes are normal events these days in too many places around the world.
What concrete things do you think today's young should do - to prove they are not just talking, but also acting?
AND THE YOUNG SHALL LEAD THEM !! The days are getting shorter
However this is just 5% or less of Young people ... The privileged class finally shitting bricks because the future is doomed .. outside this posh echo chamber millions and millions of youth and children live without basic rights, basic medical care and education, and even minimum nutrition. Amazing halo of propaganda lasts just about a little while ... While the vast majority of humanity remains as is ... Bravo greenwashing and the Joan of Climate Arc
Eastern Kentucky University showed up to show its solidarity, all 10 of us.
Keep on keeping on. If we can do it here in beet-red KY, you can do it too!
Do not need Govt. as all there is to be done is Shut down Cargill, Pepsico, All mega meat operations and the War Machine as that really sucks
Bring it on fukface.
YOU do it, talk is cheap.
Coward.
We were 1,4 million in Germany alone.
that's all?
Pohaku Mana unfortunately yes. At least in Berlin, we were 270,000 Which is about 7% of Berlin's population.
1,4 million people on the street isn't a few. Biggest german demonstration ever. Tripled the second.
@@stebarg Don't listen, they aren't scientists. Real scientists know that you can't predict something never happened.
And in Germany (before the climate strike) thee biggest demonstration ever was 500.000.
I gave up meat and dairy! Bought a hybrid car. Changed to LEDs. Bring my own coffee thermos to get coffee and only use paper straws. Recycle, reuse, reduce.
Not enough. Before you do anything STOP BREATHING and STOP producing. Go back thousands of yrs and live in mud huts wearing leaves. Until then it's all BS
Becoming vegan just is making yourself unhealthy , less fertile and dumber.
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix No giving up meat and dairy does not make you a vegan. Do some research on veganism before you criticize. Please also do some research on factory farming and the environment. Also, the planet will be fine it's us humans that won't. Thank you!!!
Sunrise Sunset i know . Is called plant based diet . Veganism is a way of life . As no harming any animal . Nor using any of their parts . So no leather , no honey , no natural wax . Not even some colorante as carmine . Which is extracted from an insect .
Vegan is a word some people dislike. But accept easier the plant based concept
@@MariaRodriguez-hb4ix You said veganism makes you unhealthy, less fertile and dumber...how so? Also, you are the one that brought up vegan for a comment that was talking about meat and dairy!!! Also, I know veganism is a way of life because I have been vegan and environmentally friendly for years!!!
70,000 in Hamburg Germany!
That's a whole lot of 🍔🍔🍔...!!!
Payhole Everdouche the bad is : they are trying to ban Hamburgers and all meat .
And so it was to be, in the end, the Mother Earth harnessed the power of its most marginalized creatures, the little girls, in order to save herself. For who else could at once break the heart of and inspire courage and determination in the apathetic hearts and souls of the global masses but the fiercest and kindest of humans? And so it went, sparking fires of resistance and healing around the globe until once again the world could be wild and free.
Thank you, kids!
plant a tree do something NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
I cut one and poisoned 5 yesterday.
It going to take more than just planting a tree. Sorry but I remember from when I was a child about the car's and there admissions that were hurting are environment. I have seen the changes. There's not as much snow on the Mt,s that I have lived around my hole life. It's sad they are beautiful but they were more majestic and beautiful with more snow on them. Now you just see the glaciers. I am so proud of are young people taking on this fight. My prayers are with you all. I am over fifty now so I have seen a lot. There was a commercial with an American Indian standing near a highway and people throwing garbage out of there car,s . He was crying. That moved me even as a child. I don't know how many times I cried over what was going then. This has been a long time coming, so sad it took this long. Please stay in the good fight for are mother earth. As a woman I know I would not be happy with people putting all kinds of holes in me and then putting toxic waste into them. That just one of the reasons she is sick right now. I feel her pain. Are youths who are involved. Thank you so so very much for caring and fighting for your future. God bless everyone. Angels are watching all and can help you. Just ask them. You are born with one that not all of them that are around us always. Love and peace on earth is all I have ever wanted. Love and peace be with all of you. Mt,s are bare.
Thank you Democracy Now, I did not see see detailed about our climate in the cable news.
Y'all really think having children as executive director of anything is nuts.
It does one's heart good to see these young people all united in a common cause! Perhaps though they should be provided with simple uniforms and instead of each having somewhat untidy banners they should be issued with professionally- made ones. It would also be a good idea, I think, for some form of rehearsal to take place before future demonstrations to ensure cohesion and balance, without of course detracting from the essential spontaneity of the events.
I hope they address chem trails assault on the planet
They're working only on issues related to Earth.
A genuine comment perhaps, most comments here are from paid propagandists. Humans have put back into the atmosphere a small fraction of the CO2 that nature has taken out. Plants are prospering because of this. The CO2 levels need to be higher.

please remember, that it is not just the young whose lives are being affected, but there are many folks who care and are still full of life, and have the energy to make changes in small, and major ways. yes, we still have dreams too
The young Afghan activist attending international school in Thailand got close to to the truth with his less than optimistic observation at the end. Basically we're past the crucial tipping points except the Arctic Blue ocean event. That means that things are about to get truly drastic. But I love these young people fighting the good fight.
Amy - you are a National treasure Thanks
Make some noise, make them listen!!
THE AWAKENING IS HERE!
I'M in awe of these young people. Just. Wow. 🌍🌎🌏
GO GUYS GO!!!!
I`m so proud of You All! Thank You All!
you people would follow what ever was popular at the time.
Wow! It was an amazing debate. 😯
These folks are great talking.

A call to all teachers and leaders, time to become students again and learn a new trick, let Our youth exercise their right to exist!!
I wish I was as aware and mature at their age they're amazing!
Go baby's we are with you. You should have a place to go and a place to come home to...
Such thoughtful, intelligent, well spoken young people. Thank you Democracy Now for giving them a voice. I hope that someone will address the issue of putting a global crisis in the lap of the current rulers and asking whether you think they will use this emergency to clamp down on people's civil liberties rather that actually address the crisis...
Kids are so optimistic. Good stuff.
These activist youth educate themselves by way of Climate Studies.
Good Job young people. Don't let no one discourage you from doing good for yourselves and future generations. Continue fighting the good fight and don't hesitate. All the love for you guys. No one have to tell you otherwise. God bless and become what are you here for fighters for a better world.
Isra is another Minnesotan I am proud to call my fellow human being, moreover, I am inspired by her!
This young Mexican American Women's command of standard English and Greta's as well for that matter, puts the majority of contemporary adult American's to shame. RT once again illuminating the issue in a very compelling way with these articulate brilliant very young activists! Wow Illhan Omar's daughter as Well!✊
Feels good to see these young guys' militant attitude. I wish all success for this movement
I hate to be negative but as Amy said these demonstrations are the size of the ones when the Iraq war started and we all know what happened there absolutely nothing the only way to change climate or bring about some kind of change is to get rid of these Republicans
Oil production increased more under Obama than under any other president in history. He was also the dude that opened the arctic up to exploration. I believe you meant to say "...is to get rid of all of them."
Partisan identity politics isn't helpful. Wrong target.
Go kids! ❤️ so inspiring!
Tell the young people how we can reduce global warming by SHARING MORE. Remember the mantra: Recycle RE-USE Reduce.
When you share something that makes it unnecessary for someone else to buy a new one, which produces carbon dioxide.
Marx, Mao & Lenin's theories of contradictions in capitalism were right.
Everyone one of them is a hero. It's sad when the young must do the hard work of the elders

The only way to do this is to....” reduce, reuse, recycle “ that goes for governments and corporations to.....but no they want to fly jets and spray toxic metals!
There’s is no excuse for how big the houses are how few people live in them....how much time the offices are vacant....how big the cars are with one person in them.....how few motorcycles there are.....the system and individuals are incredibly wasteful!!!!!
Mike C I don’t really see your point
Mike C true and I agree ....people are ignorant and taught what to believe and to not care....I didn’t know China was so bad? Global economy..I don’t know if that will ever really work...forgive me u make some good points....it’s true they poison and destroy the environment for world wide corporations.
I think they are the real "Greatest Generation". Thanks DEMOCRACY NOW!

2 billion dollars profit daily from Big Oil is more than enough to cloud the science of climate change

So, seriously, buy these to flip substations off-grid, 1-Mw/1300hp, fits a container, 75 replace the Russian nuclear barge.
The big deal: "50-year no-inputs warranty", 17yr R&D, Belgian: technokontrol, the RF-5000, sparkless for use with explosives.
For off-grid, grid-tied home farm, ranch: 10kw/$15k, 5kw/$8k "20-year no-inputs warranty", S.Korean: infinitysav, made to wire into power panels.
That's $750/year for 10kw of 24x7 power, the 5kw fits a pickup toolbox, is quiet, no fumes indoors, no fuels, $400/year + interest.
Magnet motors drive these, it's why they don't use fuels or inputs for DECADES, only upkeep, found doing trade studies, neodymiums are 90% full power 1000-years hence.
"Support these Companies", these are the only two I found who put in the long-term R&D to have production ready products to sell zero emissions, tiny carbon-footprint power.
We literally need billions of them, they are bleeding edge machines.
Give me your credit card number and I will support them. Let me know when solar panels are 10 cents a watt.
@@pohakumana The infinitysav are 1/5th of 5-cents a kwh, a whopping penny per kwh over the warranty period.
No deep-cycle batteries to buy with a 20-yr life, tiny carbon-footprint vs both; it's 24×7, 100% Duty-Cycle, Continuous power.
There's not enough silicon for all panels on Earth, best so far a Tawainese team prototyped a 20-micron thin-film 98% efficient using nanotubes in the silicon layer, ref. Dalai Lama's physics event.

@@pohakumana No affiliation, my designs are product lines, selling IP by contract, Earnest Money only, no royalties.
The hot ticket? Palm sized device chargers on up, no batteries, never need charging, neodymiums last 90% full power 1000-years, oh duh, that's more than a sound bite.
@@ttmallard Send me a 1000w battery, the one I have sucks. Tech isn't affordable until it becomes saturated in the market.
Big screens are a few hundred bucks now, they used to a few grand.
I don't need a palm charger, for what? I need to power a house/shop with a welder, tablesaw, a kiln all of which use 220. I'd need a field of solar panels.

@@njosborne6152 I don't know for this particular video.

WE must not only match as activist but act as activist. Simple solutions: we must SERIOUSLY REDUCE OUR CONSUMPTION! We must resist our appetite to resist the corruption in power and the destruction and gluttony of capitalism.
Go, kids, go!
Educate people.
Why does Amy keep saying "Thunberry" when it's "Thunberg"?
It's really weird.
cause Thubnberg is white and therefor racist, she has to disrespect her
Greta went on DN and told Amy how to pronounce her name. Watch the interview
In her native tongue, that is how its pronounced.
@@Praylak no it's not.
Because, as another poster already told you, that's how Swedes pronounce it. Educate yourself and don't slam others who know more than you do.
The youth understand the existential crisis at hand. Activism works, get out, be active, vote.
Good morning! Sacramento CA
Proud of the young people but disappointed in the rest of us for knowing and not fighting decades ago letting our system, corporations & Leaders not take action
As I said when we first saw The Picture of Greta sitting all alone on her Friday School Strike in Sweden It is a shame that our children have to even do this !!! I still feel that way but it IS amazing to FINALLY BE HEARD !!!! THANK YOU TO ALL RAINBOW WARRIORS AROUND THE WORLD !! Our Indigenous Brothers and Sisters are finally being heard !!
Also* *Nasratullah* * has anyone been planting indigenous trees herbs grasses ? It can turn your area around . So many desert areas are planting and storing clean water in water catchment systems for springs, floods , and rains, the animals are fed on small patches of ground , moved to another and feed again keeping packed together all day . as each day passes and animals do what animals do while breaking up the soil surface with hooves and cultivating any seeds and mulch the soil becomes more fertile and cattle return grass seeds to earth so they will grow Or you can grow small Diverse Crops on small lots created by Human and Animal the natural way . when green and roots return then it holds moisture which cools the air and traps the water which emptys into wells and aquifers …. so on so forth . check out the many videos on reversing desertification, it has many ideas depending on climate and landscape ! Take Care and thank you for all you do !!
Just look at these amazing young adults that made up their own minds with the information they collected around them and the world ! I was wondering how children would react to the difference in movies and pictures Then seeing the reality of other children in horrible conditions … well Now …?
Time for us parents to backup our kids and tell truth to powers around the world. NO MORE WARS! SAVE MOTHER EARTH!
I hope they endorse the candidate with the most progressive climate change plan.
Greta Thunberry! Hip hip hurray
I heard this while on the road.
Couldn’t wait to see the accompanying video!
Why are those people from the USA continue to pronounce it ”Thunberry” 😁
Because it's a little closer to how the name is pronounced in Swedish. The "G" is pronounced very softly.
her name is pronounced (rr=Roll the R) (Tun pronounced like mun in mundane)G(rr)eta (Tun) berry
Truly inspirational young people and our hope for the future.
My fear related to climate change is that there is so much momentum behind fossil fuels, it like a car traveling at a high speed using amazing amounts of fuel, and we may not be able slow down fast enough to stop the feed back loop - upon us.....
need to concentrate on the econ...stop gvt BORROWING... running us into debt...that will eventually shut the ATM.. House of Cards... Borrowed time...
Very Powerful....
this gives me so much hope :)
....and a child shall lead them...
These children don't see the emperors invisible clothes and aren't afraid to say so! Everything is NOT alright! Their future is at stake and only action NOW is acceptable!
However; ----> "in the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity". A. Einstein...
This is also to save Baron Trump & his children. Don’t you care, DJT?
The shame is not just on political leaders, but voting adults who have allowed these corrupt politicians to stay in power and threaten our very existence.
We need to eliminate the PETRO-DOLLAR, and go back to Gold Standard, before our government will even think about a Green new deal! I believe our country is going to get crushed, before we change!
Read the website, *realjewnews* to see what's going on. Pay particular attention to the topic of the Federal Reserve and the central bank network.
