When five members of Extinction Rebellion’s youth faction climbed on top of the entrance to YouTube’s HQ on Wednesday, they were protesting against a problem that has particular relevance for their generation.

We can, but they still buy shit from Primark and plastic encased make-up from Superdrug... They need to change too.

So you say now, but when you are older, much more experience will give you greater insight. For example, the possibility of using Space to solve the Climate Crisis.

The is at least consistent in it's support for age-related bigotry Whether it be by gender, colour or age, grouping all such people into one box & in your opinion blaming the world's ills upon them is bigotry Btw how old are Roger Hallum (53) and Gail Bradbrook (47)?

Wow. After reading the article I realize these people are just as abysmally seems stupid, uninformed and self absorbed as I thought they were.

Selfish view that older people are doing it for their kids and not for themselves, while these lot state they are just doing it for themselves? So not for their kids and not for future generations! Humanity is built on planning for future generations.

younger generations are stupid, I belong to one of them and I know better. I hope when they get older, their minds will mature as well

We’re special!

“Older generations have never been told they won’t get the same opportunities their parent or grandparents had”! What were WWII babies were told about future opportunities We were all terrified getting nuked would fuck our future! Do we not teach history in school these days?

We understand propaganda just fine. They will too when their entire generation becomes a meme.

Typical 'me me me' we know better than everyone else in any other demographic but mine 🙄

Nobody to date has listed the problems and what should be done about them , so that we the older generation can decide on whether or not you know what your talking about!

It was 'older generations' who started awareness of the need to look after the planet for future generations. Greenpeace was founded in 1971 for example.

So ignorant, pretentious and blind, people like Vandana Shiva were pioneers of enviromental activism in the 70

They demand a future down the mines?
