German Chancellor Angela Merkel has appeared to voice support for German students abandoning their lessons and attending climate change demonstrations.
Climate change: Angela Merkel welcomes school strikes
2 March 2019German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she supports school students’ protests about climate change.
It appears to contradict some education officials, who have criticised participants for skipping school and threatened them with exclusion.…
What did Merkel say?
In a video released on her official website, Angela Merkel said protecting the climate was a “challenge that people can only tackle together” (in German).
Asked about the Friday school strikes, which in Germany have been dubbed “Fridays for Future”, Ms Merkel said the country’s climate goals could only be reached with the support of wider society.
“So I very much welcome that young people, school students, demonstrate and tell us to do something fast about climate change,” she said.Read more: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47427788
“I think it is a very good initiative,” she added, without making reference to the fact that they were protesting during school hours.
What can I say – maybe German education standards are a thing of the past.
The germans have a tradition of brainwashing. The Hitlerjugend was as brainwashed as the children of today, and as fanatic. My name for the schoolchildren action is CLIMATEJUGEND, it is the most accurate term IMHO. It is no wonder that “Mutti” Angela applauds this. She has left the german energy system in a caos, using billions of euro and achieving nothing but problems. Of course she welcomes even the smallest support, even if it is from uneducated children. It takes away some attention to the problems she has made. When the children discover the truth, she will long ago be off the hook.
Can’t say it any better.
Earlier this winter we faced probable diversion advisory due to “unreliable power supply to ground facilities” in Hambourg. This could have been huge as per my estimates 24 or so airborne A/C were concerned.
Good thing they could manage take us all on sched.
All correct. And she can rely on the Climatejugend to support the Malatov-Ribbentrop Nord Stream project.
Merkel is really astute in diverting attention away from the mess her climate policies have created – but this is no different to what many politicians in the “civilized democratic” West are doing.
This morning I listened on radio to the CEO of our main electricity supplier – an engineer by training – speaking of the aim of a “low carbon future.” I was not sure whether to laugh or cry. I am a simple layman when it comes to science and engineering but I know the most important part of Chemistry is Organic Chemistry and I believe that the following is true:
Organic Chemistry = Chemistry of Carbon = Chemistry of Life
Please correct me if I am wrong and explain how we can survive in a “low carbon future.”
You could’nt . Patrick Moore put it better :
Te co-founder of Greenpeace who dropped out when they denounced nuclear ower, countered Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal as a genocidal piece of lunacy in a series of remarks on Twitter on Feb. 23. Replying to a tweet from Ocasio-Cortez, he wrote:
“Pompous little twit. You don’t have a plan to grow food for 8 billion people without fossil uels, or get the food into the cities. Horses? If fossil fuels were banned every tree in the world would be cut down for fuel for cooking and heating. You would bring about mass death.” And then replying to another person posting on Ocasio-Cortez’s Twitter page, he wrote:
“You are delusional if you think fossil fuels will end any time soon, maybe in 500 yrs. AOC’s attitude is unjustifiably condescending. She is a neophyte pretending to be wise. Her kind bring ruination if allowed to be ‘in charge.’ (from the cheap seats).”
On Feb. 19, Moore wrote, including graphics to prove his point:
“AOC’s Green New Deal calls for: ‘(J) removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.’ Technically (scientifically) this would mean removing all H2O vapour and all CO2 which would mean the eradication of all life on Earth. Brilliant.”
That AOC Resolution URL on the GND has been since pulled.

Don’t let yourself fool by euphemistic pictures;
Of course landlords and foreign hedge fonds drown the Internet with optimistic interior architecture!
It’s not fair. My 4 kids used to skip school with a vengeance and got themselves and mum in all kinds of trouble….all for the climate of course as it turns out. Angie, where were you?
A realistic and achievable goal for all of these students it to keep their rooms and homes tidy and clean.
A totally unrealistic and unachievable goal for these students is to think they can engineer a pleasant climate in every country. Only a lunatic thinks he can – and of course many loud politicians.
As Environment Minister in 1998 she signed the diesel exhaust limits causing uproar now, into law. 4 months before Fukoshima she signed the nuclear exit into law. The tsunami was political candy.
The landscape is destroyed with giant asparagus turbines.
Her “scientific” advisor Dr. Schellnhuber got his CBE, Commander of the British Empire in 2004 from the Queen personally and signed up the WBGU, the Great Transformation.
She appears to be implementing the infamous Morgenthau Plan, rejected then by the Marshall Plan, with a decarbon kicker.
AOC’s heavily lauded in the German glossy press right now – just wait until Patrick Moore’s tweet becomes widely known. And AOC telling youth to have no children should make for many merry chat shows.
Still, Nordstream 2, vitally important for Germany, continues despite massive unrelenting geopolitical pressure. Who said it was ever easy to be a Chancellor in Berlin?
Merkel is a Rabid Globalist, enough said.
Let’s see, there must an organization which the wise Future Leaders can join.
The last time a German leader wanted to make sure the children were heard, the organization had a catchy name.
And kids in that organization were very involved in good eco-friendly activities, too!
So Chancellor Merkel is just channeling that certain historical figure she obviously admires so greatly.
She should call her new game, “Merkel Youth”.
I wonder if she has designed their uniforms yet?
‘German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said she supports school students’ protests about climate change.’
It would be nice if they would define it before protesting it.
Berlin must be askance – a teen mob at the city gates led by a Swedish Green Teen Queen Bee and a NY neophyte!
This is very embarrassing – it could upset the Great Decarbon Transformation Plan when public mirth breaks out!
Damage control will be excruciatingly complicated. Feinstein had it easy!
Very strange flip flop she is doing…
February 16, at this meeting, Merkel told that it very well could be, that foreign powers were behind those demonstrations…

Europe is falling apart again, the USA will have to put it back together one day.
Hmmmm…
Maybe not.
The EU is corrupt across nearly the entire continent.
Maybe time to focus on helping Africa and S America.
Europe is shot, worn out, useless.
Children – the last array of a tumbling regime?

What about day 2? Is this Pelosi-style support in name only for appearances?
Sickening, indoctrinated leftist scum.
Hopefully the young surgeon who will have to operate on her in 15 years will tell her before the surgery that she took part in the strikes and missed that practicum…
Angela Merkel a.k.a. “Honecker’s revenge”…
“AOC telling youth to have no children”.
It’s OK the Germans have already walked the walk on that one.
The German demographic curve is so disastrous already for decades, it’s why they have to import millions of foreigners to fill that gap.
You only have to go out at a spring weekend in Germany to see 1000s of grey haired old fogeys driving around in cabriolets with equally grey haired old women, usually with no or very few children or grandchildren to mess with their luxury lifestyle.
The immigrants can’t afford them, they are working their nuts off all hours for as low as 1EURO per hour.
The whole current German construct is just grotesque.
