Someone send these tools to Netflix and make them watch Al Gore’s movie. Remind them that it was made over a decage ago and NONE of his scare scenarios have come true or are even trending true.

It appears young, dumb and stupid is alive and well in Alaska.

Berkeley far North? If you don’t have any skin in the game, don’t complain....

“Somehow teenagers have great knowledge and wisdom to make large scale policy decisions.”...

A direct result of continual and thorough brainwashing by their educators. Simply, kids will buy anything someone older than they tell them. I’ll bet we have all experienced such tactics and some have swallowed it.

I suggest a good first step would be for them to voluntarily forfeit their $1,500 state stipend just for being there. That’s “dirty” energy money donchaknow.

> Kurland said she has noticed the landscape around her hometown of Juneau looks different than it did not that long ago

If she thinks vague feelings are equal to science, she should not have been allowed out of elementary school.

And by the way, a girl named Seb (short for Sebastian maybe?) will have other things to worry about than half degree of temperature change in 2117.

These “teens” are idiots. Have their centers of logic and reasoning been damaged by eating too much whale blubber?

"You know, one of the hard things especially about being a teenager with these concerns is that you don't feel like you can do anything about it," Kurland said. "Basically what we're saying with this petition is, 'Hey you're not doing that!' "

Not doing what? Driving to the grocery store?

And no, you really can't do anything about it. The climate has changed over the eons.

Try getting cows to stop passing gas, Seb.

This is the most ridiculous class project (which I'm guessing it is) I have ever heard of. Why don't teachers just stick to making sure their pupils can actually read, write and do basic arithmetic, etc.

I taught at a community college and could NOT believe how illiterate those kids were...

That their parents allowed the nonsense to proceed tells you all you need to now.

Sure, there definitely something they can do. Turn the heat off in the winter and put their cars up on blocks and stop buying new iphones every few months. That would be a start.

Using “climate change” and other political agendas as the “cause”, the new fascist brown shirts are being trained now. Antifa is only the advanced units, the tip of the spear yet to come.

I’m sure those teens came up with this garbage all on their own. I’m still laughing about it coming from Alaska.
