I think we know the answer. Although to be fair, it's not just the socialists, now it's the billionaire airline owners who are getting in on the act.

I assume his fleet will be grounded tomorrow.

To be fair, he might be concerned about the impact of rising sea levels on his private island. One assumes he rows back to the mainland?

What have they got to do with a load of students on a march?

He and his daughter are supporting the marchers, despite having a carbon footprint bigger than most small countries.

What are the marchers supposed to do about that?

I saw a group of some 20 kids in local village this morning. As soon as it started raining, they took refuge in Costa. A while later, there was a procession of Range Rovers, Porsche Cayennes etc coming to pick the little dears up......

What should they do? Divorce their parents I guess?

Use one of his planes when they head off on their Easter holidays as a show of solidarity.

Just come across trials of his future fleet.

Perhaps your "explanation" wasn't very good.

perhaps you could help me explain it better ? just the basics on what the reduction in anthropogenic co2 will mean for the current population of the western world in regard to the things they all take for granted at the moment. explaining how if we achieve these reductions the forecast temperature reduction by 2100 will be 0.05c and how this is supposed to make a difference to the catastrophic predictions that have been made if we don't ?

Looking up the definition of 'hypocrisy' would be a good start.

This obsession on what their parents drive? Missing the point a lot. Its about getting the political will to force change so these kids have a future.

Primary school children are being needlessly frightened about the future

It's all a government distraction technique from the impending social crisis that the baby-boomers have left us with.

It's like baby boomers are trying to distract from the fact that everything is their fault; housing crisis, populist politics, rise in cost of Freddos and environmental mismanagement.

But they're focusing on the one thing that they can claim is everyone else's fault.

You really don't like baby-boomers do you?
Good.
You missed a fking great period in time!
Yet most of us grew up on council estates. But you (un-informed prats) would never understand that. We weren't left piles of cash from the properties of our parents, unlike many of today's generation will be. We went without, but rarely, if ever, moaned.
Today, in comparison, is brimming to overload with the 'moaning generation of know-it-alls'.

Will you ever stop?
Probably.
When you realise life is shorter than you ever imagined.

The A holes will probably vote Labour. That will ensure they don't inherit anything!

hypocrisy
"a situation in which someone pretends to believe something that they do not really believe, or that is the opposite of what they do or say at another time" (Cambridge dictionary)

So it applies to individuals. Not when one person says something but their mum does something else or you see other people of the same age doing something else.

So these kids can ask a pressure the nation to do something but can't do the same to their parents?

Why don't they start there? They have far more control over their own actions and people around them.

They need to start with understand what they are asking for and the consequences of it. The media seem to love telling them the consequences of climate change but seem to be very quiet in telling them the consequences of tackling it.

Didn't seem overly bothered about cleaning up after themselves either

Perhaps they are asking their parents. Perhaps it's not their parents but the parents of others at their schools. How do you know so much about these kids?

It would be interesting to see their (or their so called teachers') answers to how much reduction in CO2 output is required and what difference it will make and how it will be achieved. Perhaps it would help, if they had these facts in front of them: the atmosphere contains 3,000,000,000,000 (3 trillion) tonnes of CO2 and the oceans 132,000,000,000,000 (132 trillion) tonnes of dissolved CO2. (The figures vary slightly, depending on the source information.) However, CO2 only forms a tiny fraction of the atmosphere. There are at the moment, just over 400 molecules of CO2 per 1,000,000 molecules of other gases (i.e. 0.04%), so CO2 is considered to be a trace gas. The total human contribution to this trace gas is about 3% of this 0.04%, so 12 per 1,000,000 or 0.0012% and only part of this 0.0012% is from motor vehicles. So where's the reduction coming from and how much difference will it make?

I don't know much about these kids. But if they are anything like the vast majority of people who are asking for something to be done about climate change. They don't actually and honestly understand what they are asking for and what it means.

Whenever someone posts about rubbish being left, there's always some tt who says that the complainer should do their bit and pick up the rubbish. WTF.
