Amusing to see the usual snowflake whingers moaning about it.
Oh stop being such a pompus old arse ..... otherwise known as the 'arrogant tw@t' most people see you as on here. I'm not asking them to justify their decision - I'm suggesting it would of had more impact if they had given up their own time to protest. As even this thread shows there's a proportion of the population that thinks that SOME of them did it to bunk off school rather than make a statement. Apparently 15000 was the number ...... I wonder how many that number would of been if it had been on a Saturday when a lot of them would have been carrying out activities that are bad for the climate ? Go on Alan, have a guess ..... much lower than 15000 would be my guess !

True, what do you propose is the best solution?

I think you may be asking an expert in this arena.

Didn't realise you'd appointed yourself as spokesman on behalf of the majority of NSC. Congratulations on your new post.
Meanwhile, you were absolutely asking them to justify their decision. And they did give up their own time to protest.
Does it matter - apart from to you?
However, you have answered your own question. If you believe - through your own fabricated belief-system - that fewer people would have turned up on a Saturday than on a Friday, then the reason to do this on a Friday is therefore well and truly understood and justified. Why hold a protest when fewer would have turned up? Kind of defeats the object, doesn't it?
I have no idea how many would have turned up. But then, I don't track the lives of young people to the same extent you evidently do.

Yes, sadly this is what it amounts to. Of course there is much good work going on, and genuine concern as to the environment, but when it comes down to people really inconveniencing themselves in order to have a safer environment for their grandchildren, very few are in reality willing to give up on their lifestyle. A year ago or so, I suggested that one sunday a month, the country is car-free, other than public transport and emergency vehicles and was so disappointed at the replies -most shuddered at the thought that they would have to give up on their regular sunday outing for once in a month. Yes, you can argue that young people are taking an interest, but in all honesty, how many of them will adopt a lifestyle that calls for genuine sacrifice.

It's past tipping point.... . 1 billion Africans don't give a shit... check out the streets of Lagos, Mogadishu, Kinshasa, Nairobi etc.. and the nearly dead Lake Victoria..... add another 50 years, then another.... result?.... dead Continent, northward migration into Europe.......
.... and Asia.... much the same, billions chucking their shit into the eco system... killing everything that moves....
15k western kids taking a short break from eating kfc and uncle Sam's... with their ps4 and mobile phones just ain't gonna make a ripple outside the news hungry local radio and tv stations.

If you accept that fewer kids would have turned up, then you can't say well done to the younger generation, as it is thus clear that many were there for a day off school.

Christ, the kids sit at home on their ipads or games consoles and people think they're wasters contributing nothing and being entitled.
The kids go out and organise a protest about something that will affect them a lot in the future - something that whilst it won't solve the problem, will tell the elected that they are aware, they are pissed off and they should know that...and they still get accused of doing it for a day off.
No wonder the kids feel so disenfranchised and pissed off with the older generation.

On his last warning
The problem is, everyone's too busy working full-time hours to actually give a toss about our environment.
Making money is much more of a priority for humanity than saving the earth, otherwise we'll die. These kids will learn this once they're handed their student loans
People don't look after this planet, they destroy it for money. Until we hit a new level of consciousness which enables our mind to break free of numbers, greed, academic intelligence and political bollocks, the planets environment will be in constant decline. We need wisdom which looks at all this from outside of the box (the 3rd eye) and we need it in vast numbers. This big spiritual awakening which seems to be currently happening all over the world as we speak, seems to be our only hope. Maybe our next stage of evolutionary consciousness will solve the answers as it's clear humanity is too thick to know what to do right now? Either way, somethings gonna happen.
But sadly, in the mean time, lower vibrational people will just say "what a load of hippy shite that is"

Is it, or do you just like to think it is?

Unfortunately I can now see that it has been hijacked by the Green Party. As if they own the moral high ground on climate change?
I am no fan of any party but the New Rampion offshore windfarm wasn't down to the Greens, the i360 was.
The strike has been turned into a political point scoring joke with someone leading it with "Punch a Nazi" painted on the back of their jacket. Everyone is a Nazi these days, thousands running about the place
Punch a Nazi and Hug an Islamic extremist.

100% yes. Localising it to a few UK kids marching and recycling some milk cartons does not address the global aspect, and the fact that the majority of the planet cba or do not have the inclination.
And the 1 billion Africans continuing to produce kids at an alarming rate so that each family has even more mouths that can't be fed. You really couldn't make it up. We're starving, we've got no money, we've got no prospects, we've got no food. What shall we do? Oh I know let's have another child. Irresponsible, ignorant, hopeless.
