Children as young as five are due to be among the thousands of pupils walking out of their lessons as part of a climate change protest.

Primary school children, as well as teenagers and university students, are being encouraged to take part in a mass “strike” on Friday over the "lack of government action" on the environment.

More than 40 protest events are said to have been planned in towns and cities as part of the UK’s first Youth Strike 4 Climate. It comes as similar protests have happened around the world.

Something tells me that if someone explain this young guys that real "action" means it can end bad. Nothing changed much since Ozone Hoax days, same school guys went on marches not understanding a dime of that is going on.
