Great work - keep putting the pressure on!

Biggest scam ever the climate is changing and nothing we do will make any difference.

The students have obviously been dragged into the global warming hoax and haven’t done their own fact finding about unreliable green energy.

It’s going to take conscious actions from students and the rest of society to help minimise our carbon footprint. Cycling to work, making smarter and greener choices allows us to act now instead of expecting more than politicians are capable of.

EnviroVic This is an awesome thing for them to do and i'm totally and absolutely behind them %100👍👏👏👏👏👏🤠🖖

Seen on tv giggling in embarrasment holding their protest signs 'wtf am I doing? Don't even understand this crap'

Keep it up kids. And don't listen to anyone saying 'They're just being indoctrinated by their teachers.' Just because these fossils were too stupid to understand basic science & too weak to think for themselves doesn't mean you are. This is your future, not theirs.

There the little sheep being led by lefty teachers who if you look at the diction and mathematical ability of our young people sadly lack any real ability to teach anything but social shit they believe in

They are being encouraged by teachers!

Perhaps they should do their own research instead and apply some critical thinking?

They are better than us.

Why don't they protest at the rapist of a 7 year old girl being out on parole? 🤔

ridicules.

Hasn’t school finished for the year for many students?

Well if the grown ups can’t get their shit together on climate change...it’s their future too.

What they should do is just keep walking

FFS 🙄

Good on them! JoshFrydenberg 7NewsBrisbane

Brainwashing certainly works if you get them young enough.

If they wanted to make a point they would march straight down to the local Chinese or Japanese consulate/embassy and demand THEY stop building the hundreds of coal fired plants currently under construction. But mummy, daddy and their teachers don’t tell them about that do they?

Children have been brain washed into believing the lies of the climate change fanatics

Good excuse for them to get out of class

CC is a hoax, yeah right!!!

DineshMathew Dinesh,Do u know what causes climate change? Do u know what 'CC' is ? U will understand in 2021, but I do not think u want to wait that long to learn what is causing C.C. Take a trip to Isreal for a few weeks&talk with the scientists,They will explain to u what is coming GL!

They simply don’t know any better after being forced feed the leftards climate change lies.

Thank God these young people are all far more intelligent than the shouty man Hillsong installed. ClimateStrike auspol Solidarity

It’s their world now.

future voters doing it their way ....wonder if they all be planting a tree ...in their stRikeTIME . auspol

I am ok with them protesting, but not in school time. If are education standards were higher i would probably be ok with them taking a day of protesting. But there education standards have been declining since 2000. Protest after school.

Detentions for all absences that aren't due to sickness.

As if they would have any idea.

I'd be more concerned about their brain & education inaction!

Champagne socialism is cancer. As long as there is an India & China forget about this BS. No one’s buying the climate scam anymore except the tax payer who is forced to fund this insanity aka Hazelwood,South Australia et al...

Oh yes , the little indoctrinated schoolgirl must know better than real world evidence , . .how does she explain why they keep changing the name to suit the incorrect assumptions .this gullible fool doesn't even get that the new term 'climate change' is about MONEY, nothing else

Lots of sad people in these comments. Supposed 'adults' who once again, scared, ashamed and ignorant, stand in the way of progress. These kids are correct and should be protesting the inaction and ignorance of their elders and governments.

Haha wagging school for climate change... Love it!! Unfortunately it's their own education that suffer and it's the uneducated amongst us that refuse to believe in climate change. Get an education and you can change the world.

Now obsessed into Mental Illness for these kids.

Woo Hoo! a day off on a Friday. What school student is going to knock that back.

And then take a selfie

Shouldn't they be in class learning that human CO2 emissions are not changing the climate & that the whole thing (CAGW) is a con to strip them of their future wealth? Dear students - watch this film: globalwarming fraud

Who cares they only hurting themselves. We look the youths 2day they get a certificate in their hand & their theory is ridiculous. We were in hospital the other day they had young nurses not even able 2 put a drip in2 the arm. Compulsory theory should b increased b4 they start

These children would do well to listen to Christopher Monckton.

gregjamesbarton Also hopefully this assignment is for credit.

Good on you kids. Slackass sceptical adults should be ashamed of yourselves for doing nothing.

Good Heavens, finally some student passion & activism that’s been too dormant since 1960/70s!

Climate changes. Bankrupting only Western Nations isnt going to change what the sun does or doesnt do.

DanielAndrewsMP - hope you're planning to address these kids. It's a good opportunity to get them on board :)

& the very same WESTERN Social[ist] Media Platforms bitching about China using SocialMedia to CONtrol ppl, have ALREADY, LONG TRAINNED WESTERNERS TO COMPLY TO UN APPROVED THOUGHT & BEHAVIOUR ... like impotently yapping at China while ignoring their own Pavlovian dog behaviour🙄🤨

7.7 Billion Globally, 24 million Australia? Yeah, I'm sure Australia can do something?

How noble, until it’s time for Schoolies where virtue signalling goes out the window and their true colours come out 😂🙄

Try getting your kids to be energy efficient around the home, recyle properly, cut wastage etc. An impossible task. They have no right to speak if they are hypocrites. Kids or not. To half of them it will just be something different to do than schoolwork.

Make sure they wear a hat in this dangerous environment. Maybe open some classroom windows and try and catch the breeze like we used to have to do. Heavy aircon use will have to go to save the planet.

What’s going on here? The teachers union must be brainwashing our kids about climate change and strikes. Let kid be kids

Brainwashed by people with massive vested interest in carbon trading or alternative power sources. Underlying all protests that dont relate to your street or Personal safety is a financial or power motivation.

The same students that discard perfectly good phones and clothes just so they can have the latest? The same students that leave lights, heaters, airconditioners on when they go out? Give us a break.

Can these kids please pay my power bill when they pay theirs ? Oh........wait Of course none of them get in steel, aluminum and plastic cars that use petrol ? And the I phones are 100% recyclable - with no lithium or any other kind of battery ? Hypocrites of the highest order

How about protesting outside of school hours. How many would show up then Scary the influence of nutsack left wing teachers. Resent my tax dollars paying for kids to protest instead of learning.

Woohoo day off, now do it like we rehearsed, what we doing again? Oh that’s right, woohoo day off

gregjamesbarton Hopefully they can convince Governments to fastrack zero emissions Nuclear and Hydro for base load replacement.

Why not don't go to school that day. Look at the emissions it will save by Mum's and Dad's and school buses not taking the kids to school. School won't have to run AC that day, further emissions saved. Work smarter not harder.

What’s it matter? Clearly they’ve missed too much schooling already. Poor little fools being lead by the nose are just happy to have the day off.

Please stop indoctrinating our kiddies with this rubbish

global warming morphs into climate change which morphs into climate inaction...fm

Great example of how modem day doomsdayers are creating fear within children’s minds. Not sure this is going to help us move above the education standards of Kazakhstan.

Mouthpieces of the Marxist education system! God help us!

coward Liberals would ignore them Politicians r more interested in $-bils of royalty So they approved Adani&China coal in Galilee In NSW Wallarah Bylong &Hume We just saw a brawl when they dumped Malcolm Climate is a dirty word Coal miner donors hate it

Poor little beggars have been fed alarmist crap their entire lives. Dissent is not allowed. Conform to big government wealth redistribution or the planet gets it!

Inculcation is child abuse. It's 100% guaranteed they haven't been informed of a nuanced non-biased assessment of climate change, its causes & remedies. Instead their narcissistic penchant for virtue-signaling is fed.

Never forget that we are governed by the least amongst us.

,

What are Chinese students doing? Our emissions are insignificant globally speaking.

these are the future voters and politicians of the future ignore them at your peril. go kids you have more knowledge and the courage to fight for your future than those in canberra. ignore the naysayers and continue to stand up and fight for what you believe in.

VictorianGreens Students should stick to studying. Most of them can barely spell & their maths is appalling. Whilst teachers should be teaching. Not propagandising to other people’s children. That’s not what we pay them for.

Want to encourage kids to think but watching these 'spontaneous' protests is like parents who post deep political questions from 7yr olds - adults using thier influence and authority to misinform kids in order to push own views

Ha! It snowed in Victoria this week. The suns quietening down. If we wait a few more months & summer doesnt manifest, we may find ourselves in a multi-decade ice age! 🤣 Needless to say, those students should be disciplined, we need educated citizens not snowflake activists! 😂

It’s a shame activism isn’t a subject like reading, maths and science.

Not saying climate change isn't real. Just saying kids are being used as pawns in every developed country. Half the time they got no clue why they are protesting. They just go with the popular opinion.

Oh well. Skip classes but don’t be too upset if you fail the subject.

No doubt these students were given the opposing views to climate change too!

blanketcrap Good for them 👏🏻👏🏻

How about you focus on actual learning instead of the Fake Science of climate change

Western World flourished since industrial revolution - largely due to coal. Western world significantly reduced poverty levels & increased support for those who are in poverty. The developing world needs coal to drag itself out of poverty. Don't deny them them the opportunity

Looks like that communist indoctrination programming is working....

What difference will Aust will make to climate change if we meet Paris commitments? It is less than 0.05 of one degree at a cost of $52 billion. Surely $52 billion is better spent helping the needy instead of investing in symbolism.

weemac47 Driven from my daughter's former school. Excellent!

Lol...pushed out onto the streets by the Leftist ideology running rampant in schools across the country ClimateChangeHoax ClimateFriday SCAM auspol

Is it the kids or the teachers ?

Hope the schools suspend the fucking lot. No attendance? Suspension.

johndory49 Well done young ones ! auspol ClimateChange GreenFriday

Students are now more aware of the changes to their...yes their earth. And while some cannot vote YET.. they are taking notice!

Thank you kids. This next generation will clean up the crap the past few generations have created.

nswelectric These kids will bear the brunt of the decisions made against acting to contain CO2 emissions by successive LNP governments; I fully support them. If I had kids myself I'd be talking to them about the importance of fighting for what is right.

cc jolauder

But can’t work out if they are a boy, or a girl 😆

Indoctrination is strong in our schools. This generation are in for a shock when/if they get into the workforce

Students across Australia used as pawns for Globalists once again.

MorpheusBeing It better only be high schools and uni. Even then this is stepping over the line using kids for political points.

Good on them. Time to lower the voting age. And cap it.

JaneCaro Hmm Using kids for political purposes ...

And given the election result for Victoria, hopefully LiberalAus will sit up and take notice and all other polis who have their head in sand over climate change.

Back in the day, we went to school to learn about science, languages and history. Today, kids go to school to exercise their parent's and teacher's political activism.

But honestly, is it global warming or global cooling because world-wide temperatures have dropped. Maybe the 'scientists' are wrong?

Ah yes, indoctrinated children with no concept of work or taxes trying to tell the adult world that their fantasy world isn’t happening fast enough. Clueless.

Nope. Playing activist on behalf of their parents and/or teachers isn't a justified reason for absence.

Muppets

Kids complaining about the weather.

The lefts propaganda has destroyed their abilities to think intelligently and to reason. When people believe without evidence it called the blind leading the blind. It's become a religious belief system.

Wow, kids support a day off school! I’m shocked.

Narjen53 Brave kids!

MSMWatchdog2013 Good on them

Why? Teachers told them to, so they must be right? I want mine in class learning, not being brainwashed in the global agenda

MSMWatchdog2013 Bravo!!!

Students are our future and the Government have a Responsibility to listen to their concerns,

I thought that was last week?

This was called wagging back in my day

Go..its your future

Not sure strike action works that way. 🤨

But we are acting on climate change, wind farm, solar panels, electric cars. These student have been led by the greens who are irrelevant in Victoria. Lucky to get one seat.

Who would've thought by allowing students to abscond from something they disliked, they'd be in favour of speaking out about that thing they've been told they're supposed to speak out on.

the indoctrination camps are doing a good job

School students are experts on climate change! Politicians listen up!

Poor, brainwashed young minds. Someone must be held responsible for so many disturbed young minds.

Hopefully it will be a 45 degree day & they will stay in the a/c to continue there education. But seriously, we wonder why are education levels have fallen.

Sack the teachers. It's them that's not good enough. Too much marching around crusading against the evils of the world and not enough Maths And Literature education going on Vandalising students futures by indoctrination of Leftist ideology. Poor kids end up unemployable morons

Yeah they’ll skip classes to post garbage on Instagram using an iPhone powered by coal-fired electricity.

Why the school strike is a mistake, by a student worried by climate changeClimate change is an extremely important issue that needs to be acted upon, but a student strike is not an effective way of “protesting” against the government. Fair enough. But it’s not one or the other. You can do both. Protest and take tangible action. One does not preclude the other. What is misguided is belittling these protests. Listen to these kids now or be ignored when they are grown.

Yes, Prime Minister, I'm striking from school: consider it a climate lessonA 15-year-old Swedish girl started a global movement. Here's why I'm joining it along with thousands of other students who care about the planet's future. “If [ScottMorrisonMP] and our politicians listened to the climate science we have been taught, and took action like those of us in school, we wouldn’t have to resort to strike action.” Great teaching teachers. but d kids dont vote so too bad kids PM would only listen to donors with cash If d kids have $50k to hand out he'd listen n they'd get a meeting n photo op Gov is 4sale to highest bidder That is how rotten LNP has become
