Did Anyone Notice Today’s Climate Change School Strike?

Essay by Eric Worrall

Real problems, like Putin again threatening to use nuclear weapons to bolster his faltering attack on the Ukraine, are kindof sucking the oxygen from slow news day sensations like student climate change protests.

Climate change protesters charged as demonstrations continue

Three people have been charged after three separate unauthorised protests in Sydney’s Inner West, South Sydney and Eastern Beaches yesterday.

Following a police operation, which lasted into the evening, a man who had suspended himself from a crane at Port Botany was arrested and taken to Maroubra Police Station.

It came as climate change demonstrations continue for a fourth day and students marched for climate action across Sydney.

Meanwhile, another climate change protester disrupted freight trains in Sydney this morning.

Police attended the scene at Tempe where the demonstrator suspended herself from a pole over the rail bridge at a canal near Qantas Drive.

Another woman, 62, climbed onto a freight train at Marrickville about 10.45am as part of Blockade Australia’s ongoing climate protests.

Students strike for climate action

Earlier today, young people gathered in front of the Prime Minister’s Sydney home to strike for climate action.

Breitbart has reported about a leaked document, which suggests progressives in the Biden administration are pushing for a nuclear response if Putin uses WMD in Ukraine, though Biden has not to my knowledge publicly committed to such a position. Progressives allegedly see going nuclear as a means to deliver Biden a “huge victory” over Russia.

As the world stands on the brink of a possible nuclear war, a few kids protesting about climate change just doesn’t seem important.

“Nuclear Doctrine to Protect Ukraine” – from what? The use of a nuclear weapon won’t protect any country in the world. Biden’s more likely relying on fear-mongering as a scheme to help democrats win the next election.

I did see one story about it.
I commented that the protesters in DC seemed to be the same type that signed the petition to ban DHMO at an Earth Day a few years ago.

If Putin threatened Nuclear strikes! No guarantee he did. IF the internet will let you check,that is! So the analogy failed through no fault of your own

Your leading “If” statement is a pretty big IF, don’t you think?

Also, this is no guarantee that he did not make such a statement, directly or indirectly.

Well, to be fair, nobody has actually stated categorically that they would bombard another country with nuclear weapons but there have been some quite strong inferences made. So far USA, UK, Russia and France have all made strong inferences whilst N. Korea has praised the size of their dear leaders erect missile.
