Via HLN:
"Students of the Atheneum in Mortsel no longer want to stand idly by as the climate continues to warm up. Two girls are exhorting Flemish school children to skip class from now on and to demonstrate for the climate in Brussels."
From now on Anuna (17) will skip class every Thursday for the climate: "What's a missed hour of mathematics, if you can also demonstrate for a better climate?"
And boy, did the message about skipping math class fall on deaf ears. Not. A couple of days later 4,000 youths skipped class to demonstrate in Brussels. For the climate. Again, via HLN:
"Eight days ago Anuna De Wever (17) and Kyra Gantois (19) decided to skip class every Thursday, to protest in Brussels and ask for attention for the climate. Yesterday was Day 1 of their action and - fasten your seat belts - a staggering 4,000 students demonstrated in Brussels. "I'm so fucking glad!"
You don't say. Indeed, what's a paltry 4,000 missed hours of mathematics? 8,000 by the week after? 16,000, 32,000, 640,000??? The Climate warming up is more important. Let Chinese and Indian schoolchildren study mathematics and let us demonstrate! Progress!!!
MEANWHILE IN SWITZERLAND....
"In Switzerland's East today an avalanche rumbled down inside the restaurant of a mountain hotel. Several people were wounded, local police said. On the Schwaegalp in the Appenzell Ausserrhoden canton snow came down. The snow mass buried vehicles and thundered inside the restaurant of Hotel Saentis....
...Several people were wounded, how many isn't clear. Emergency squads are still searching for possible missing ones."
You know what. I'm gonna sleep. Can't stand the insanity any more. Nite, except if you are Anuna (what kind of a name is that anyway?) or Kyra, or one of their eager acolytes, in which case I wish all of you have nightmares about being forced to watch An Inconvenient Truth over and over and over again and it turns out it's a bad comedy.
Oh wait... Duuuuh, it is actually a bad comedy.
