She chosen to speak because of her profile and coordinator of the F**k Off on Fridays Strike in her home country which manifested itself into the schools strike in 130 countries. She was not the only speaker. She was certainly not a keynote speaker. Look at the attached PDF. Geeky kids spoke on various things for a couple of days.

And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
How can we dance when our earth is turning?
How do we sleep while our beds are burning?
The time has come to say fair's fair
To pay the rent now, to pay our share
The time has come, a fact's a fact
It belongs to them, we're gonna give it back

YOUTH CLIMATE SUMMIT, 21 SEPTEMBER 2019
The UN Youth Climate Summit was a platform for young climate action leaders to showcase their solutions at the United Nations and to meaningfully engage with decision-makers on the defining issue of our time.

This historic event took place on Saturday, September 21 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York prior to the UN Secretary-General’s Climate Action Summit on Monday, September 23.

The Youth Climate Action Summit brought youth climate champions together from more than 140 countries and territories to share their solutions on the global stage, and deliver a clear message to world leaders: we need to act now to address climate change. The event gave voice to the demands of young people for far swifter action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The times they are a changing...



1.Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2.Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3.There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

4.Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5.Always drink upstream from the herd.

6.If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7.The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

8.There are three kinds of men:

The ones that learn by reading.

The few who learn by observation.

The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9.Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10.If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back everynow and then to make sure it’s still there.

11.Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n than puttin' it back in.

12.After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

ABOUT GROWING OLDER ...

First ~Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth, think of algebra ...

Fifth ~You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about ageing is that it’s such a nice change from being young.

Eight ~One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable and relaxed.

Tenth ~Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.

And, finally ~If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you're old.

Looks like the organisers don't have kids of their own.
