So, I posted my view on Facebook against climate change protest marches by school children, and someone posted "There may be a troll around. Be careful, everyone.", implying that it was me, probably. Nuts!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I only argued that: "You made thousands of placards probably using loads and loads of paper and plastic. Haven't you just destroyed a forest or two and contaminated an ocean or two? What are you going to do with all the placards afterwards? Some of them may be recyclable but most of them will probably end up in incinerators to be burnt. It will then produce CO2, lots and lots of it! Don't you realise that you're doing exactly the opposite to what we've been trying to do to protect the environment and address the climate change?" What did I get? First, name-calling - well I forgive them; they're just kids. And then, a few adults posted "But, they're fighting for their future. You've got to support them!" When I asked "fight how?", there was no response. Instead, "They're fighting for their future!" a couple of more times. Then, some college lecturer posted "I think there is a troll among us - be careful, everyone..." Typical. These adults don't even think for a second that these children may be exploited by ideologues. I wasn't getting anywhere, so I gave up.

To all the school going on 'strike' for Climate Change:
You are the first generation who have required air-conditioning in every classroom.
You want TV in every room and your classes are all computerised.
You spend all day and night on electronic devices.
More than ever, you don't walk or ride bikes to school but arrive in caravans of private cars that choke local roads and worsen rush hour traffic.
You are the biggest consumers of manufactured goods ever and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy,
Your entertainment comes from electric devices.
Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration, which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.
The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear and more of the environment is destroyed.
How about this...
Tell your teachers to switch off the air-con.
Walk or ride to school. Switch off your devices and read a book.
Make a sandwich instead of manufactured fast food.
No, none of this will happen because you are selfish, badly educated, virtue signalling little 'princesses', inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a 'noble cause' while they indulge themselves in Western luxury and unprecedented quality of life.
Wake up, grow up and learn to research facts and think for yourself and not blindly accept the words and thoughts of others - I don't think you formulated this action plan all by your self - suspect you may have had some influence and 'guidance' from those you trust ....a word of warning, be cautious of the influence of the 'left' because there may be a time in the future that you will be the ones left out..

Hear, hear! It was interesting to observe that, here in the UK, many of the placards the kids were carrying bore the label "Socialist Worker"!
Methinks I smell a rat!
