Kids are speaking up for the environment. Let's listen | Olafur Eliasson 

What mess are we in? Are you talking globally, nationally? (America specifically?)

@Ajay Miller oh, please. 🙄

@WestonG23 oh, yes, I love it when there's always people like you guys to demonize a way for children to express themselves :D

@Ajay Miller if YOU can speak, they can too...

@WestonG23 okay, good for you honey ♡

@Ajay Miller ""children aren't people"" 😂😂😂😂 please never have kids

Like Gandalf said: _"Even the smallest person can change the course of the future."_ ^-^

Exactly I feel that thanks bruh

@Kyle Beauchamp 'The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.' H.L. Mencken Yes politics indeed, to make people scared, incapable, therefore easy to control, by believing that world is gonna end in couple of years, they've been saying that since 1920's or so, one knows that by spending some time on historical context. What they called climate change consensus science is just human natural tendency for half truth conjecture, fueled by hubris and building a career with a 'noble' cause & have almost religious belief about it, pure ego. Most of the climate change (especially climate change histera) is just a crowd control measure like they've done though out human history in more or less sneaky way. PS if it's that simple then why you or some of the billion other ppl hasn't fully done it? Because totally clean, efficient, reliable energy is a fkn pipe dream and it will be for decades, nuclear is maybe closest but it's terribly expensive as an initial investment, it's a massively complex issue like most big issues are so anyone that's saying that a child could understand it np tells me that that person hasn't done their research, has a completely low resolution image of things and serious lack of awareness,

Well it's just that Scientists, Adults who devoted their life to this topic have not been heard. They spoke at Summits and Meetings of World Leaders for the past decades since 1980. And nothing has changed. What would you do, if the logical, rational, adult way has failed?

@@BouXIII no that is the polar opposite of brilliant...

Children are humans too. Tf you on about?

Outdated mindset. Children today are born with the wealth of Human knowledge at their fingertips. Today’s kids are tomorrow’s engineers, designers and revolutionaries. We should start treating them like this is the Planet that they will inherit, because they will.

@@troypropes1182 lol. U think because children have access to technology that can manipulate information and bend it towards whatever biases is selected for, that this is better then a library... Oh man if our kids are being educated by RU-vid channels and the UN we are seriously doomed. I am sure our kids are being exposed to a fair compare and contrast perspective like say, is China and other communist countries maneuvering to take control through this Global Reset initiative of the planet. I am sure children are aware of this possibility and the difference between a society of free will and independent liberty with equal justice and a society where individuals are simply widgets for a political party rule that control all the wealth and opportunities.. I'm sure its just slogans. But hey kids know everything about geopolitics right..

@@GhostlyBanes children are developing. They don't "know" anything. Which makes them impressionable and easy to convince. The idea that kids should be involved in decision making is absurd and reprehensible on the part of those advocating they should. For political parties and corporations to attempt to persuade kids they are leaders simply by virtue of being young indicates a desire to take advantage of their innocence. I am absolutely against turning kids into activists. I also am sure at the same time kids are being sold on this idea that they know better, they are not being told of the times in history where youth were used to begin the most murderous and horrific take overs of nations. Eg. MAO and the red guard youth brigades which murdered thousands of teachers, academics and the elderly to start Maos Cultural Revolution. Stalin kulacs who were youth students used to murder farmers who owned their own lands so Stalin could usher in communism. And today student social justice warriors rioting and assaulting innocent people on campuses and residences who simply don't agree with them. Oh politic correctness also was a maoist doctrine and popular with youth and the workplace. I'm sure kids are being told this ..

I fully agree they don't have the life experience to be anything more than pawns to other's schemes.

You keep telling yourself that. Whatever you need to do to make marrying a child bride seem normal. Freak.

@@freddobbs8558 : You are making an obviously blind accusation, one that if anything implies that you yourself are guilty of the crime if anyone is.

Yes, if you wish to see how education can turn a rational human being into a fool, TED is the place to go. I am reminded of the saying, that some people are educated beyond their intelligence. Beyond their capacity to think.

And for the Hitler youth.

Yea, it's pretty fekked up that people do that to children, trying to convince them that socialism is somehow bad when that's their education system, and their social security when they are old, their disability if they are hurt and the safety systems like OSHA that keep them alive and functioning so they can continue to work, as well as insuring that people are paid a half decent wage. It's deplorable that some so-called adults indoctrinate children into the idea that the destruction of their environment, the world they will live in long after you and I are gone is of no consequence or importance, and that all that matters is how much money we can give to the wealthy elite who are bent on this destruction. It's fekking deplorable is what is.

@@solvingpolitics3172, my in-laws are refugees who narrowly survived a genocide and lost 50+ members of their family. We see the signs.

​@@aylbdrmadison1051, do you know that over 90 million people have been killed in the last 100 years by their state (democide)? And, you believe in the redistribution of wealth via taxation, otherwise known as theft. I know that theft is wrong. A mafia of criminals taking men's wages, claiming it's for their good, is immoral. Robbing men of their own hard-earned labors via the threat of being caged or threatened at gunpoint is absolutely criminal. All government is slavery. It leads to the loss of freedom, every single time, without exception. A heavy or progressive or graduated income tax is necessary for the proper development of Communism. Karl Marx "in the future food will be used as a weapon to control populations , the people's freedom of movement will be confiscated via environmental taxation" ....... Henry Kissinger .

I have worked in Cambodia with Cambodians. It is true that a minority of people were indoctrinated into believing the Pol Pot doctrine that urban civilization leads to perversion of human nature. Cambodian adults, not children were responsible for the horrors of the Pol Pot regime. This TED presentation does show how adults promote bizarre notions of alternative utopias such as the Pol Pot doctrines. The question everyone should ask is this: If modern urban industrial civilization is so bad, why are people living longer in better health and with less crime than in other societies with less development of urban civilization? We should consider ourselves as trustees of the civilization passed onto us by our parents and take responsibility for passing on what we received, trusting in future generations to preserve what we have passed on to them and to exercise care and discretion when making improvements. I learned this by taking a clock apart when I was a boy. I learned that it was not easy to make improvements in the clock by leaving out part or adding any new parts. It might be possible, but I knew I would have to study hard and learn a lot before I could make a better clock.

The dumbing down of America. What a goal for TED!

The scientists have been trying to tell you guys these things for many decades, but no, you think you know more about the field of science they actually studied and are experts in their field. Now even children are making you guys look like fools. Will you ever grow up?

@@fwcolb : Apparently, the dumbing down of America was in full force when you were a kid.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 We as individuals affect the Earth far more then companys. The US is not even in top 10 in CO2 emissions which means they have even less of a impact. Individuals like these kids refuse to lower their slandered of living as well as many adults including climate change activists, simply because they are thought that company's are evil and that countrys like the US are to blame for everything. This allows them to tax companys more with the support of the people, and ask more money from countrys like the US for something like the Paris agreement. This led to US citizens actually hating its own government for leaving this agreement... and it led you to start doing the same.

@@tossacointoyourwitcherOriginal 1. Companies only pursue profits, which is the reason why we are in this mess to begin with. Marketing creating artificial demand, planned obsolescence, horrible plundering of resources - the list goes on forever. Fight the source - the profit motive 2. The US is among the top of CO2 *per capita*, which is very important. Why some people can live as luxurously as a hundred, and yet the latter gets the blame? Plus, the US outsources a lot of labor overseas *and* they have already finished industrialization. If you look at total emissions over the last century, the US is the top one. 3. This video is in English. It will mostly affect anglosphere, as it should - it is our goal as a world, and everyone should pitch in. 4. ... Which is why Paris agreement is important. We need unity. Also, why do you defend corporations so much? Do you benefit from it monetarily? They already pay lower taxes (and sometimes *you* pay them even) than you and receive subsidies. The wealth gap has been only increasing.

It must really suck for you that children are making you look so immature.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 , you used “suck” and “children” in the same sentence. Are you a priest?

@@aylbdrmadison1051 Let kids make the budgeting decisions in your household then get back to us.

Or*

See a psychologist.

Kids learn through example, just like adults who are still capable of learning because they can keep an open mind. They learn from bad examples as well as good too. Stop setting a bad example, and then maybe they can learn something from you, other than how not to behave so immaturely.

They are still in the midst of having to convince the idiots among us that this is a reality. That's not their fault they have found it necessary to scold people who are *supposed* to be adults.

@@aylbdrmadison1051 Nothing to convince... the proposition is wrong. No one denies climate change.... only that it will be catastrophic and that any of the proposed solutions make any difference at all. Shall we declare war with China and India?...The most polluting countries?

Lmao! 😂👍

@@aylbdrmadison1051 if I point you to science that says "climate change" is not being driven by CO2, would it change your mind?

@Jess Benson : Please ask your parents to support public education (

@@aylbdrmadison1051 why would we support public education? The school system is one of the most broken systems we have.

Ditto Christians, Buddhists and Unitarians. But how many observe these precepts? As Adam Smith explained, we have to rely on the nature of mankind to act in self interest. We now know that self-interest includes altruism which has evolved to a high level in dogs, apes and humans.

Brainwashed children.

@@solvingpolitics3172 exactly!

I once told a priest to stop undressing me with his eyes. No one said one word about how great it was I spoke my mind. He then proceeded to undress me with his fingers.

So some are afraid because others are not afraid. lols Yeeea.. no.

If you so called _adults_ had been listening to the scientists for the last *six decades,* then children wouldn't be making *you* look so immature now.

We still need to ask many Americans the same thing. You'd think they'd learn after a few decades.

Good thing that Reagan knew more about human behaviour than did Carter.

The same people who claim that Christian or politically right leaning children are blindly following what their parents are telling them don't see the same sort of problem in the kids like in this video because it aligns with a message that they believe. I'm not saying it's wrong for kids to get involved in the process of fixing the climate change issue, simply that they are far too inexperienced and knowledgeable for anyone to truly follow the will of the ideas that they are saying. It's good that they are getting involved and want to learn and help, but by far we should put much more emphasis and weight in the words of the adults and scientists who have a better understanding (and a more biologically mature, developed brain) of these issues and solutions, as opposed to that of children.

Thats literally the only thing my school has taught for the past 3 years.

@@breanna6257 that's so unfortunate and I hear similar stories from my nieces. There are far, far more things to learn than just climate change, and if the educational system wants to prepare kids to take on the the various challenges in life and the world at large it will require more than just a singular focus on the general umbrella of climate change. I hope that you have been learning more about a broad range of things even if it's on your own time away from school, there's a wealth of knowledge out there which is far more accessible to your generation than I could have ever dreamed of when I was in school. Best of luck to you for real🙏

@@breanna6257 : Liar.

@@cloudbloom : Children are doing a good job of showing certain these so-called _adults_ just how immature they are. Because for these _adults,_ scientists making them look utterly ignorant and partisan wasn't enough for them. Maybe some of these wannabe adults will actually have the courage to become mature now.
