Let's stop pretending this is a kids effort.
This is a teacher or group of teachers that have conscripted school children to go forth and push a highly politicised agenda. Abusing a federally funded department for political gains.

My opinion of people who abuse tax based civil programs to exploit children for political positions isn't high.

A beeg yep to that W, and big mahalo Rourk for sticking in there all these years, i can imagine you've seen big changes in two generations. IMO problem is the kids ( and parent too ) get everything from cell phone ( Manufactured MSM / Big Tech narrative autoloaded ) and never see another side. I beg u to please suggest there is a whole other world of information and knowledge available to them, if they peek behing the curtain. Orange is an awesome color. Shoots just ask them to look up Patrick Moore, co-founder of Greenpeace. Surely this would do no harm right ?

Let's stop pretending this is a kids effort.
Or if you prefer to talk about actual events, let’s stop pretending this isn’t a kids effort. It began with a single 16 year old girl named Greta, sitting outside the Swedish Parliment, with no backers, political supporters or affiliation. A few months later she was invited to speak at the 2018 United Nations Climate Change Conference COP24. The first I heard of Greta was a few months ago, when she was mentioned in the Tribune-Herald by a young woman north of Hilo who wrote a letter to the editor: “You say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes.” These are words from 15-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg. Like Greta, whose speech went viral after she spoke in front of the United Nations, we should call out all governments and businesses that are unwilling to fully address the climate change crisis. https://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/201...uary-23-4/ But sure, claim the kids are manipulated (with no evidence), because then you won’t have to admit that perhaps it’s your position that’s incorrect, that the tide is turning, and from one girl in Sweden last August the message has gained incredible momentum, reaching all the way around the planet to Big Island, and Honolulu where yesterday 400 people gathered along with 1.5 million others worldwide, asking for a change in the right direction, asking for a future.

Quick, factual synopsis for u hotpie. kids go to school, get a chance to go outside with little to no explaination why, instead of working. Most of them just take it as another recess. They come back i and ZERO Qand A on what just happened.. Media laps up the head count and spoon feeds the faulse narritive. Kids never even know or care how they being exploited.
i say most but not all kids go outside. believe it or not, they are told they have to go bc there is no one to watch them while the herd is outside. when they refuse, they get to sit in office. More time lost. eta. the above is happening here in Hilo.

Having been around for a long, long time, I'm not worried yet. I don't believe Hawaii's children should be that engaged, either. I believe they should do more studying first. Below are some predictions edited for clarity.
“If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but 11 degrees colder by the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.” -- ecology professor Kenneth E.F. Watt at the University of California in 1970. “By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people. If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000 and give ten to one that the life of the average Briton would be of distinctly lower quality than it is today.” – Stanford University Professor Paul Ehrlich, 1971. “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climate change, or even to allay its effects,” -- Newsweek, “The Cooling World,” 1975, which claimed that Earth’s temperature had been plunging for decades due to humanity’s activities. “By 1995 the greenhouse effect will be desolating the heartlands of North America and Eurasia with horrific drought, causing crop failures and food riots. By 1996 the Platte River of Nebraska will be dry, while a continent-wide black blizzard of prairie topsoil will stop traffic on interstates, strip paint from houses and shut down computers.” – Princeton professor and lead UN IPCC author Michael Oppenheimer, 1990, while working as “chief scientist” for the Environmental Defense Fund. “Within a few years snowfall will become a very rare and exciting event in Britain. Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.” – senior research scientist David Viner, Climatic Research Unit (CRU), March 2000. “Imminent sea-level rises, increased hurricanes, and desertification caused by man-made global warming will lead to massive population disruptions. By 2010, some 50 million “climate refugees” will be frantically fleeing from affected regions of the globe.” – the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2005. I cannot in good conscience leave out Algore: “The entire North Polarized [sic] cap will disappear in five years. Five years is the period of time during which it is now expected to disappear.” – 2009, speaking to an audience in Germany.

The whole scoop is here
We pumped so much CO2 into the atmosphere since those predictions were made, we not only avoided the ice age - - we overshot by a wide margin. Now, like any addict, we can't seem to stop.
