It’s interesting that people with manifestos are usually wackos. The person involved with the mosque massacre in New Zealand, who followed the Norwegian terrorist and mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik and Swede Anton Lundin Pettersson. Of course, you also have Karl Max, Lenin, Mao, and others. Now there’s this
A manifesto for tackling the climate change crisis
We’re the UK Student Climate Network. We’re young, we’re students and we’re calling for change. Our movement started in February when tens of thousands of young people took to the streets in towns and cities around Britain, in an unprecedented emergence of a youth climate justice movement.
We’ve joined a movement that’s spreading rapidly across the world, catalysed by the actions of one individual in taking a stand in August last year. Greta Thunberg may have been the spark, but we’re the wildfire and we’re fuelled by the necessity for action.
The climate is in crisis. We will be facing ecological catastrophe and climate breakdown in the very near future if those in power don’t act urgently and radically to change our trajectory. Scientists have been giving increasingly dire warnings about the state of our planet for years, with the urgency and severity of their message escalating in recent times. It’s abundantly clear: change is needed, and it’s needed now!
What do the little brainwashed snowflakes want? First, “Declare a climate emergency.” Then
Education: Our education system is failing us. We’re not being adequately taught about the climate crisis in our classrooms. Schools are not preparing us for the world we’re about to enter, yet still prepare us for jobs and a society based on the system that caused the crisis. We must urgently reform the national curriculum and learn to address the ecological crisis as an educational priority.
So, wait, the leftist run education system is failing them? Huh.
Tell us the facts: The government must also communicate to the general public the severity of the ecological crisis and the necessity to act now. The population cannot be expected to hold those in power to account without the necessary information. Our environment is being destroyed and we have a right to know the facts.
Yes, because we can trust the same government that is failing you, right?
And, of course, the want to lower the voting age
The government must recognise that us, young people have the biggest stake in the future. Legislation must be immediately adopted to lower the voting age to 16 and incorporate youth views into policy making. For too long we’ve been disenfranchised and frozen out of the political system. It’s clear that politics isn’t working. We can’t keep operating within these failing models of civic engagement. Without reconfiguring the way decision making takes place, we’ll be incapable of addressing the climate crisis.
Why 16? Why not 10? 8? 4? Why are their voices being excluded. Bigots!
