Treating children this way, giving them this label from such an early age is the most damaging thing the system can do. Dismissing their life chances as though they are simply potential statistics for unemployment. It's sickening. All children are full of potential if we know how to nurture it.

Why are we allowing them to get away with this? I know we feel we need fossil fuels, but the alternatives are there, and the public could stand up and shift the balance to renewables. Is this the last gasp for fossil fuels, or it's a climb to 4.5°C average temperature increase by or before 2080.

UK has ‘no future’ if it fails to act on ecosystem collapse threatening national security
MPs demand publication of full report that outlines catastrophic consequences amid concerns for food security Members of parliament have demanded full publication of an explosive report by the UK’s spy leaders that found the collapse of ecosystems overseas would have catastrophic consequences for the UK’s national security, warning that the UK has “no future” if the findings are not urgently acted on. Despite growing concerns for the UK’s food security, likely to be worsened by the third heatwave this summer currently afflicting the UK and swathes of the northern hemisphere, the government has refused to publish the full report, which has circulated among defence officials for more than a year.

History doesn't repeat, but it does often rhyme: useful comparison. #Inequality #Autocracy #Ideology www.ft.com/content/0f3e...
Alexander III discovered that pogroms were a useful tool to deflect anger away from himself and the establishment and protect the old order. Musk and his friends are doing something subtly different: channelling fear of immigrants into rage against the establishment. Unlike the tsar, Musk doesn’t want to preserve the old order. He’s part of a Silicon Valley movement that wants to replace it.

It is useful to be aware of this. But those who want to preserve our imperfect system, where power and sovereignty rest with democratic nation states, not sovereign individuals, would do well to focus less on incendiary tweets. They should look to the real causes of unrest, the gaping chasm of wealth inequality, and figure out how to fix it.
