Calling racists “racist” got Civil Rights laws passed.

The children’s marches this weekend called out polluters. The testimony at the UN today challenged the cowardice of member nations on climate change. The auto industry is not comfortable with Trump’s changes to emissions standards. That happened because they were labeled polluters and consumers wanted energy efficient cars. Naming the people causing the problems works.

Greta Thunberg doesn't mince words. Not even when addressing the world's most powerful people.

"We are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth," the Swedish climate activist told the United Nations General Assembly on Monday. "How dare you?"

Speaking during the UN Climate Action Summit in New York, the 16-year-old was visibly frustrated with her audience and at times appeared to be holding back tears of anger.

"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words and yet, I'm one of the lucky ones," Thunberg told the assembly, her signature long braid swept to the side. "People are suffering, people are dying."

In a two-party system, a coalition would not be needed. To gain voters, one party would be Leave and the other party would be Remain.

While not a professional, I know after reading your news commentary for many years, that you're a grownup who's being facetious about the kids.

I'm not a professional Arta, but I pretty sure the best way to convince people is to tell them they're racists who don't care if the earth is destroyed and their grandchildren die.

I just think I will go with the professional about what works with the majority when that happens, as opposed to anonymous rmrd on the internet.
