Climate Protest the Latest Youth Action for Social Change

In every generation, young people have led movements for social change. Some were successful, others were not. The latest student movement to make headlines began last year, as students skipped classes on Fridays to pressure world leaders to take action on climate. Their coordinated global protest this past Friday was the largest to date. Markus Meyer-Gehlen has more on youth activism.

They are more awake than most politicians. Am proud of them. I have been involved with this issue since the early 80's an can see the damage we are causing to the only place we have to live. If I was able, I would march with them! My generation has sold out an lost their direction

They will soon be of voting age. These are the children that will move the world in a New Direction of respect, compassion, empathy, Unity, love, and recognizing that Mother Earth is sacred and protect natural resources! Welcome the age of Aquarius!

The planet could give a flip about climate change, Only people do. After all, we benefited from the end of the last ice age didn’t we?

“I’ve got some ocean front property” in Arizona…as written
by Dean Dillon, Royce Porter and Hank Cochran....


National Public Radio Weekend Edition Sunday, did a piece on
climate change and coastal flooding that flared an interest in me as to how land
in beginning cities where farmed out, the ocean front properties, if any were
reserved for the affluent, where they built their mansions, on mostly low land to
be near the waterways where the mooring of water vessels would be cheapest, however,
for the poor, the less affluent, the high ground was reserved for them in way
out of the way places, far and away from any water, even lakes and streams, as
it would turn out the high ground, with the advent of global warming the high
ground are less prone to flooding, is now suddenly becoming more expensive and
prized, as little by little the poor are being encouraged to move out and away…

I would say “stay in school” but then again those who teach these kids encourage them to believe these kinds of lies
