Well, that only shows that you don't care what happens to this world after you die...doesn't it?
These kids will have to deal with the mess your generation created. Too bad you can't be held accountable for it.

I want to encourage students to keep it up every Friday. Us adults (I'm over 60) have got to act...and soon. Stepping out every Friday would keep reminding people that there's no time to dawdle. We know what to do; we just have to have the courage to do it. Keep poking!

Symbolic at best. Exactly what good comes of walking out of high school in Los Altos? If they really care, why aren't they in Washington, DC and demonstrating in front of the White House and Congress? Their time would be far better served getting the best education they can so maybe they can possibly make a difference once they're out of grad school and in the real world.

I tend to agree. As reports have shown, if the US went to zero emissions, the effect by 2100 would be a 0.2 degree global temperature reduction.
Instead of protesting that the US isn't doing enough, perhaps they could write to the Chinese government and suggest they work on the problem. As the largest global polluter, that would have a greater effect than here. They might also try the same with India, since they are poised to overtake the US in generating pollution soon.
I doubt that either of those nations would be willing to sacrifice their economic welfare for the sake of this cause, but they could give it a try.
