Māori Climate Commissioner, Donna Awatere Huata, says now is the time for Children to shame adults into climate change action.
“On March 15th, the movement of children striking from school to protest the inaction by adults on climate change finally reaches the shores of Aotearoa.”
“Following in the footsteps of 15 year old Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and 13-year-old American Alexandria Villasenor, children around the planet are striking to protest against the failure by adults on a problem they will inherit as a poisoned legacy.”
“As adults, we should be ashamed at our inaction and wilful delusion as every climate change alarm screams at us that we must make immediate change. If it takes our children to shame us from our apathy, so be it”.
“I will join the children of Aotearoa on March 15th to stand in solidarity with their hope, their dreams and their future”.

Ha! More lies from the fossil fuel funded Heartland Institute. There’s far too much money at stake for them to stop lying.
You see no conflict of interest quoting the Heartland Institute which is funded by the fossil fuel industry, Andrew?
Don’t you think they might have vested interests in keeping the fossil industry going?
The profit motive is a poor reason to Keep polluting the atmosphere, don’t you think?

This is akin to child abuse
More denial from trolls.
A 12 year old has a better grip of reality.
Offensive, Andrew. And plain stupid.
Please don’t equate your refusal to accept the evidence with child abuse. You are exploiting other peoples’ misery for your blind prejudice.
School Strike for Climate: Meet 15-Year-Old Activist Greta Thunberg, Who Inspired a Global Movement
As government ministers from around the globe gather in Katowice, Poland, for the final days of the 24th U.N. climate summit, we speak with 15-year-old activist Greta Thunberg, who denounced politicians here last week for their inaction on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. She has garnered global attention for carrying out a weekly school strike against climate change in her home country of Sweden. “We need to change ourselves now, because tomorrow it might be too late,” says Thunberg. We are also joined by her father, Svante Thunberg, a Swedish actor.

School strike for climate – save the world by changing the rules | Greta Thunberg | TEDxStockholm
Greta Thunberg realized at a young age the lapse in what several climate experts were saying and in the actions that were being taken in society. The difference was so drastic in her opinion that she decided to take matters into her own hands. Greta is a 15-year-old Stockholm native who lives at home with her parents and sister Beata. She’s a 9th grader in Stockholm who enjoys spending her spare time riding Icelandic horses, spending time with her families two dogs, Moses and Roxy. She love animals and has a passion for books and science. At a young age, she became interested in the environment and convinced her family to adopt a sustainable lifestyle. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

She is crying out for help. So many living things are crying out for help. We cannot ignore them. How can we ignore them? Thank you, Greta. Please keep talking about climate change–and acting to change things.

One of the scariest moments in my life was when I realised that adults weren’t as smart as I’d thought. I slipped into depression as well, because I felt like nobody cared about issues because if they did, they would’ve been fixed. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned about activism and campaigning. I’m now running for the youth parliament in my country, and I’m getting involved in public transport campaigns and now this one too. Keep fighting, you’re inspiring others to fix these issues.
