Time For Another Children's Crusade?

Vancouver's School Board supports students who skip school for a climate strike.

Apparently, kids now believe that the world will end in 12 years.

Those of us a bit older that 12 years, have heard warnings about the imminent end of the world  due to frost or fire, for decades now. But we have grown used to them, having found that life just goes on, decade after decade.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

In climate research and modelling, we should recognize that we are dealing with a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore that the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible.

SOURCE: UN International Panel on Climate Change, Third Report, Chapter 14, Section 14.2.2.2, (2001)

But evidently the climate "scientists" with their bent, or should I say hockey-stick, graphs have got our kids to turn on their parents.

Here's one of them addressing the UN in full condemnation mode:


So perhaps it's time to hand over the whole business of world government to the kids.

Indeed perhaps it is time for a new children's crusade: not to conquer the Holy Places of Jerusalem but oil fields of Arabia.

But meantime, kids, those of you not entirely convinced that all will be lost without immediate abandonment of school and career planning, here are some thoughts from one of the monsters of your parents' generation: Scott Adams — A Message for Children About Climate Change.

  1. Can the kids guess any worse than the grownups?

    Don Pendleton, author of the hackwork "Executioner" series popular in the 70s, came out with "1989: Population Doomsday" exactly in 1970. Belinda Carlisle, of the group The Go-Go's, closed her concerts 1989 saying "We only have ten years to save the planet..." She was a solo act that year.

    30 years have come and gone and both Don and Belinda were off by a bit.

    Sure, Don was a pulp fiction maestro and Belinda was a rocker. Their credentials still beat Greta, wrong as all of them are.

    1. Yes, as someone said, predictions are difficult: especially about the future.
