h/t Breitbart; Very muted criticism in the mainstream media over the Chinese government’s hardline stance against domestic climate activism.
Across the globe, millions join biggest climate protest ever
Young and old alike took to the streets in an estimated 185 countries to demand action
Millions of people demonstrated across the world yesterday demanding urgent action to tackle global heating, as they united across timezones and cultures to take part in the biggest climate protest in history.
In an explosion of the youth movement started by the Swedish school striker Greta Thunberg just over 12 months ago, people protested from the Pacific islands, through Australia, across-south east Asia and Africa into Europe and onwards to the Americas.
…
No protests were authorised in China, the world’s biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions, but Zheng Xiaowen of the China Youth Climate Action Network said Chinese youth would take action one way or another.
“Chinese youth have their own methods,” she said. “We also pay attention to the climate and we are also thinking deeply, interacting, taking action, and so many people are very conscientious on this issue.”
There was action, however, in Taiwan, where dozens of representatives from primary schools, high schools, and universities gathered in the capital, Taipei, to launch a petition to press candidates in the upcoming presidential election to lay out concrete policies to mitigate climate change risks.

Imagine what would have happened if President Trump had banned non-violent climate protests. The media would have been in an absolute frenzy, rightly so, about the suppression of freedom.
China doesn’t have a right to protest, so despite China being the largest CO2 emitter in the world, the lapdog Western media gives them a free pass.

The problem as I have pointed out previously is historical.
At Founex(1971) and Villach (1985), the developing countries were inveigled into supporting green environmentalism and global warming theories by a promise that they did not have any binding obligations and did not have to contribute monetarily.
Western Nations were the guilty parties having invented the Industrial Revolution thus causing the “problem”.
Cut to Greta Thunberg addressing the British Parliamentarians.
Developed Countries can now pay trillions.
Why would people be surprised that Turkey wants to be classified as a “ developing country” and China does not have any binding obligations to reduce emissions or to pay for anything?
With trillions of dollars being spruiked as the cost of combatting climate change, there is not going to be any effective World Carbon Treaty for the simple reason that no one is going to pay for it.
“Chinese youth have their own methods,” she said. “We also pay attention to the climate and we are also thinking deeply, interacting, taking action, and so many people are very conscientious on this issue.”
Pay attention to the climate, is it communicating with you, trying to send you a message? This sounds like crazy talk to me.
Hey, Greta isn’t the only one with climate telepathic powers.
Meanwhile in Japan, a 5 year study of data from 2015 to 2019 shows a 5 year record to be the worst evah!

Make ‘climate change’ sexy? ‘Trying to put lipstick on a pig’ comes to mind. The alarmists have been trying every appeal to human fears and desires for the last 30 years, when the naked truth has always sufficed. The small amount of warming we have experienced in the last 40 years is natural, cyclical, and normal. CO2 is essential plant food, not pollution. It’s undeniable….
Y’know these people also believe CO2 *ISN’T* plant food. When I show them the equation for photosynthesis they still don’t understand.
There is something deeply ironic about the Guardian supporting a movement aimed at creating a totalitarian state and then criticizing a totalitarian state for not joining in.
I can just picture the not-so-vast numbers of people who protested in the vast majority of the 185 countries where strikes were supposed to have occurred on Friday.
How many citizens of Sudan, Mali, Chad, or Rwanda, just for a few examples, would consider they were rich enough to stop work, or stay away from school, for the day?
Not very many by my reckoning, except for all the employees of the Western NGO’s that thrive in Africa like bees buzzing round a flowering tree in springtime.
If I had the authority, I would ban all protests for CO2 climate change as well as the brainwashing programs fed to our children on the subject. J My son had to do some kind of report on a WashingtonPost propaganda article, upgraded with extra climate doom language by the English Language Arts teacher. She knows literally nothing on the subject, has never looked at the graphs and doesn’t have the background to interpret them anyway. you cannot regress feelings!! Her opinion is equivalent to that of a small cat – not ever a large cat – just a small one.
We’re all free speech in this country so maybe that’s why I’m not in charge 😀
Typical.
Breitbart and Steve Bannon are Mercer properties.
Seems many here are waiting for Bannon’s docudrama “Claws of the Red Dragon”.
Bannon praises the Falun Gong on New Tang Dynasty TV, with regime change clearly in play.
Of course the entire CO2 hoopla is aimed at China.
Is WUWT playing along with a color revolution now?
Some what OT:

This is an article that astounded me. I am an former professional aerial fire fighter.
also have scientific training and as a professional pilot/intructor taught weather in relation to
aviation . I was also a NOAA certified weather observer.
William Gabbert gives credence to Greta Thunberg.Zero Carbon output by 2050
Zero Civilization, too .
I was tossed off that site for linking to this one-Heretic, unbeliever, infdel. etc.
Yet they take Thunberg seriously.
