#ClimateStrike #ClimateAction #YouthStrike4Climate in London today, in photos. Posters speak better than stories.

Note: many adults are trying to hijack the simple and powerful message & use it to gain popularity. At least 10 groups in the streets pushing their ideological or mercantile agenda under the guise of caring for children & climate. Don't fall for provocations. #ClimateAction

Earlier in the year, we tracked down the 2004 lecture that Attenborough personally attended which finally convinced him that he needed to speak out about climate change...

I worked with #YouthStrike4Climate this week in Leeds on what needs demanding from politicians and what the conversation might go like. My thoughts for energy only @ExtinctionR @GeorgeMonbiot @powellds @Laurie_L_L @exeterepg @crisortunity @NatureEnergyJnl i am very #GreenNewDeal
Come ask a climate researcher from @PriestleyCentre today in leeds at the #YouthStrike4Climate to find out more

Reporting from SF Youth Climate Strike. Signs speak for themselves. Amazing young people.
Time to get out from the hole and listen to the kids.
Enough said.
There's a conspiracy theory circulating about the #ClimateStrikes: the children can't possibly be organising and thinking for themselves. Someone must be controlling them. 1. Not one shred of evidence has been adduced to support it. Why? Because there isn't any. Thread/
2. The strikes took us veterans by surprise - and they fill me with hope of a kind I thought I'd never feel again. If the young people ask for help, we'll provide it. But they are the leaders now, and we are the followers. They have the moral authority.
3. Have you any idea how patronising and condescending this sounds? Children aren't capable of acting in their own right? The young people organising today are the most inspiring, determined group I've ever come across. They should be honoured, not insulted. #YouthStrike4Climate
Here are my suggestions for how the #YouthStrike4Climate could win. Please don't judge this by the headline - it's absolutely NOT a manifesto: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It would be act of appalling presumption for an old fart like me to write young people's manifesto for them. I've asked for the header to be changed.
I know the text will upset some people, as I've tried to be brutally honest about where I feel previous movements have failed. But I believe we have a duty not to replicate them. If protest is to change the world, we must work out when and why it has succeeded.
Loved the energy of young protesters at #YouthStrike4Climate #SchoolStrike4Climate in Parliament Square today - future looks to be in safe hands with next generation - if this generation don't wreck our planet first. (1/n)
Inspiring to hear 9 year old Daphne, there with her mum, tell us how she was protesting to protect our planet.
14 year old Alicia and her friends are determined that young people's voices will be heard - they are 100% right.
Thousands of on-strike schoolchildren have taken over Parliament Square as part of the #YouthStrike4Climate movement - calling for politician to do more to tackle Climate Change.
Signs here saying “The Is No Plan-Et B” and “Brexit Won’t Matter When We’re Dead” @LBC

Just have a listen to these three girls from Camden, aged 11 and 12, on strike today for #YouthStrike4Climate
“All you hear about is Brexit Brexit Brexit... this is our planet, the politicians don’t care.” @LBC

The striking students have now started blocking traffic - lying down in the road outside Parliament. #SchoolStrike4Climate @LBC
