Kids are just repeating the propaganda they have been told. So you can just as well listen to it directly in that case. But I think most thinking people have had enough of that since long ago. Those kids need to learn things about life first. And especially about how propaganda works.

Climate change and environmental protection are extremely complicated, politicized and divisive topics, they are very hard to be fully understood even by adults. These kids are just speaking heads for the adults and that is disgusting: adults must have the bravery to speak by themselves.
I’m not saying that the kids said something right or wrong, but I am saying that adults should not use kids to express their views.

Cap relative to 2019 levels fossil emitting activities, licenses and permits below 90% in 2021, 80% in 2022, 70% in 2023 steadily down to 0% in 2030: action even a kid can clearly understand and that too many adults fail to grasp.
Show us that you understand what this means, why it is necessary, good and right, if you can. We can compare your answers to kids’.

So the artist works with things he controls? Sounds like how religion is forced into kids heads before they develop reasoning skills. Get them while they’re young mentality as easier to manipulate.. Kids are the future. Kids speaking up is great, it depends on how they’re educated about it. Facts matter over having kids just say things they don’t actually understand.

“Today I will listen to another. Practice today listening to another…You will be engaging your whole mind in your conversation. Take time, then, to practice listening without speaking. Allow others to express themselves to you. You will find that they have a greater communication for you than you might at first have anticipated.” (quote from Steps to Knowledge, Marshall Vian Summers, New Message org)

These “kids” need to sit down, shut up, and go to school! AND, the parents who are abusing them into fronting this crap for them need to stop!
So your answer is “all you have todo is listen”, …… so listen to ME, SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, and GO TO SCHOOL!
SEE, YOU DON’T LISTEN! 🤣
PS: I have already heard what you got to say many, Many, MANY, MANNNNNY, years ago and they were WRONG then, and YOU are WRONG now!
So SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, and GO TO SCHOOL …… and LISTEN! 🤣

This is pathetic. As a last resort the Marxists must stoop to using kids as cannon fodder after terrifying them out of their minds. What do these kids know about Mann’s Hockey Stick or that the IPCC Models have failed to predict reality for over 20 years but are STILL being used to shape policy that are destroying millions of livelihoods that may cause these kids to starve or at least stunt their development or deny them opportunities. Despicable.

With so much politics and money involved around literally any aspect of our life’s kids see the whole issue with their innocent point of view (as long as they are not used as a means to push forward adult views – in general). And that is not bad. Maybe, for once, the big powerful men and women, could actually listen and move forward without involving personal interest. Maybe the solution to a huge problem like climate change, could then become as simple as a kid sees it. And frankly, it is that simple. People are just not willing to accept it.
For example. If you smoke, throw your cig, in the appropriate bin. If you buy a soft drink/ whatever drink, don’t just leave it at some corner on the street. Throw it to their dedicated bin sections. There are things that governments have actually followed, simple common sense things, that people can’t follow even then. So it’s laughable to think that we all can make a change, when people ignore basic stuff like this. But, as we say in my country, hope dies last, so you never know.

The only thing that children know is what you adults have been lying to them about for ages. So maybe stop lying to your children.
