A message to French Yellow Vests that greens and EU supporters can field large groups of demonstrators. But half the pro-climate action marchers were school children.
70,000 March to Demand Belgium, EU Increase Efforts to Fight Climate Change
By RAF CASERT / AP January 27, 2019
(BRUSSELS) — At least 70,000 people braved cold and rain in Brussels to demand the Belgian government and the European Union increase their efforts to fight climate change Sunday, the Belgian capital’s fourth climate rally in two months to attract at least 10,000 participants.
The event was described as Belgium’s biggest climate march ever, with police estimating slightly bigger crowds than a similar demonstration last month. Trains from across the nation were so clogged thousands of people didn’t make the march in time.
Some 35,000 schoolchildren and students in Belgium skipped classes Thursday to take their demands for urgent action to prevent global warming to the streets.
“Young people have set a good example,” protester Henny Claassen said amid raised banners urging better renewable energy use and improved air quality. “This is for our children, for our grandchildren and to send a message to politicians.”

I’m disgusted by how greens seem to think it is OK to use children as political pawns in their nasty game.
The school children, half of the climate action marchers, have no idea about the real world. They have never experienced the misery of watching their meagre weekly pay packets taxed away by distant green politicians who have no empathy or concern for the problems of ordinary people.

Update: the Climatistas in Brussels are now employing primary schoolchildren. Despicable. https://www.rtl.be/info/belgique/societe/miss-magali-a-reussi-a-emmener-des-eleves-de-primaire-de-fetinne-a-la-manifesatation-pour-le-climat-il-y-a-des-gens-qui-polluent-surtout-donald-trump–1096357.aspx
Note how warmly they all are dressed!
3.400 “scientists” published an open letter in support of the “Climate March” in Belgiun and now also the Netherlands. http://www.scientists4climate.be/
The time has come for all the scientists who don’t agree with the AGW/Climate Change BS to publish an open letter as well. Action = Reaction
Legal action is needed as well as Urgenda went to court in the Netherlands with a claim that the Dutch Government is not doing enough to reduce Co2 emissions. The judge agreed and the Dutch Government is now forced to take draconic measures to reduce C02 emissions.
Existing climate critical platforms in the Netherlands like climategate.nl don’t have the punch to move the masses who are totally brainwashed by MSM and television. Ample opposition in politics as well.
Can’t we drum up a counter action?
Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands are the bridgeheads of the climate change BS. Therfore any counter effort would be most effective.
Watched the news here. Kids interviewed parroted all the standard crap of melting Polar Ice, raising ocean levels and the destruction of the planet. Fact checking is no longer taught in schools. It’s incredible as all those kids have grid access with their smartphones and fact checking is only a few clicks away.
The are clearly caught in a bubble of social media and schools, media, politics and businesses only applaude their commitment “to the great cause”. It will be very hard to undo the brain washing without hitting them on the head with a rubber hammer or sending them into a “rehabilitation camp”. Good luck with this one.
Many people are directly opposed to the US sceptic community. They know that AGW is here, is warming this planet and its effects are only set to get worse. A case in point, but sceptics will continue to deny this increasing evidence: https://mankindsdegradationofplanetearth.com/2019/02/01/australia-is-sweltering-through-record-breaking-heat-and-the-worst-is-yet-to-come-cnn/
But folks like you told us 15 years ago that cold winters were a thing of the past!
Australia has also had some severe austral winters recently with record low temperatures.
