FRIDAYS FOR FUTURES

Finally, and for f, f___s sake, Greta is getting it on commercially. No more sticking her thumb up for lifts across the oceans, we hope! If you are able, please help he and the cause by donating something.

Greta was 15 years old when she started striking and insisting that her so-called guardians might do something positive. Although she gave it her best shot, along with millions more schoolchildren around the world, the politicians and industrialists would not listen to reason. Climate deniers are likely to be responsible for the mass murder of seven billion people, in a climopic genocide built on a financial eugenics programme to make billions of dollars exploiting planet earth at the expense of the human population.

According to her/their website #FridaysForFuture is a movement that began in August 2018, after 15 years old Greta Thunberg sat in front of the Swedish parliament every schoolday for three weeks, to protest against the lack of action on the climate crisis. She posted what she was doing on Instagram and Twitter and it soon went viral.

On the 8th of September, Greta decided to continue striking every Friday until the Swedish policies provided a safe pathway to well under the 2-degree C, i.e. in line with the Paris agreement.

The hashtags #FridaysForFuture and #Climatestrike spread and many students and adults began to protest outside of their parliaments and local city halls all over the world. This has also inspired the Belgium Thursday school strikes. 

HOW MUCH IS THE EARTH HEATING UP - As of early 2017, the Earth had warmed by roughly 2 degrees Fahrenheit (more than 1 degree Celsius) since 1880, when records began at a global scale. The number may sound low, but as an average over the surface of an entire planet, it is actually high, which explains why much of the world’s land ice is starting to melt and the oceans are rising at an accelerating pace. If greenhouse gas emissions continue unchecked, scientists say, the global warming could ultimately exceed 8 degrees Fahrenheit, which would undermine the planet’s capacity to support a large human population.

GRETA SAYS IT, WE R&D IT - Where the young lady is a wonderful mouthpiece for dissatisfied students, she is not an economist, engineer or a scientist (yet) and never will be if she keeps skipping off school. She could though be a politician.

Greta Thunberg is a Swedish climate activist known for having initiated the school strike for climate movement that formed in November 2018 and surged globally after the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP24) in December the same year.

Her activism began in August 2018, when her recurring and solitary Skolstrejk för klimatet ("School strike for the climate") protesting outside the Swedish parliament in Stockholm began attracting media coverage.

Imposters, trademarks, commercial interests, royalties and foundation ...

First: Unfortunately there are still people who are trying to impersonate me or falsely claim that they "represent" me in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media, artists, etc. Please be aware that this is happening and be extremely suspicious if you are contacted by "me" or someone saying they "represent" me. I apologize to anyone who has been contacted - and even misled - by this kind of behaviour.

Second: My name and the #FridaysForFuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever. It happens for instance in marketing, selling or products and people collecting money in my and the movement's name.

That is why I've applied to register my name, Fridays For Future, Skolstrejk for klimatet, etc., as trademarks. This action is to protect the movement and its activities. it is also needed to enable my pro bono legal help to take necessary action against people or corporations, etc., who are trying to use me and the movement in purposes not in line with what the movement stands for. I assure you, I and other school strikers have absolutely no interests in trademarks. But unfortunately it needs to be done.

Fridays For Future is a global movement founded by me. It belongs to anyone taking a part in it, above all the young people. It can - and must - not be used for individual and commercial purposes.

And third: together with my family I'm setting up a foundation. It's already registered and existing, but is not yet up and running. This is strictly not for profit or course and there are no interests in philanthropy. it is just something that is needed for handling money (book royalties, donations, prize money etc) in a completely transparent way. For instances, taxes, have to be paid before we can give them away to specified purposes and charities. This takes a lot of time and work, and when the foundation is fully up and running I will tell you more.

The foundation's aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as metal health.

Love/ Greta

The school strikes for climate, also known variously as Fridays for Future (FFF), Youth for Climate, Climate Strike or Youth Strike for Climate, became an international movement of school students who take time off from class on Fridays to participate in demonstrations to demand action from political leaders to take action to prevent climate change and for the fossil fuel industry to transition to renewable energy.

Publicity and widespread organising began after Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg staged a protest in August 2018 outside the Swedish Riksdag (parliament), holding a sign that read "Skolstrejk för klimatet" ("School strike for climate").

BBC NEWS JANUARY 2020 - Greta Thunberg to trademark 'Fridays for Future'

Climate change activist Greta Thunberg says she is trademarking her name and the #FridaysForFuture movement to stop people from impersonating her.

In 2018, Ms Thunberg's school strike grew into a global movement that became known as #FridaysForFuture. 

Millions of people in countries such as Australia, Ghana, Germany and the UK have taken part in the protests. 

She said on Instagram that people had tried to sell products and collect money in the movement's name. 

"My name and the #Fridaysforfuture movement are constantly being used for commercial purposes without any consent whatsoever," the 17 year old said. 

Ms Thunberg has also applied to trademark Skolstrejk för klimatet (school strike for climate), the phrase used on her protest sign that she has carried around the world to #FridaysForFuture protests. 

She added that people had tried to impersonate her "in order to communicate with high profile people, politicians, media and artists". 

Ms Thunberg also announced she has set up a non-profit foundation to handle the financial side of #FridaysForFuture. 

It will manage money raised from donations and book royalties. 

"The foundation's aim will be to promote ecological, climatic and social sustainability as well as mental health," she told her Instagram followers. 

Ms Thunberg has become a strong voice for action on climate change. However, her message on tackling rising temperatures has not been well received by everyone. 

Earlier this month US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told the teenager to go away and study economics before lecturing investors. 

Last December she was named Time Magazine's Person of the Year. 

DW - Fridays for Future: Students hold international climate change protests

A global school strike against climate change inaction is underway. Protests have taken place or will do so in more than 100 countries, all following the example of one young Swedish climate activist.

Schoolchildren across the world are joining the global Fridays for Future protests, demanding global leaders take action on climate change. The movement, started by 16-year-old Swede Greta Thunberg, is expected to see children, their parents and their supporters take to the streets in 1,500 cities in more than 100 countries.

The eastern Australian city of Melbourne saw one of the largest protests in the country.

In New Zealand, one of the other countries where the protests kicked off, strike organizers said they were pleased after a meeting with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Climate Change Minister James Shaw, saying they believed their government would take positive steps.

"But this is a crisis and we need to start treating it as such," they said in a statement.
A march in Christchurch, New Zealand was cut short by a lockdown after shootings at two local mosques. Participating students were confirmed to be safe, Mayor Lianne Dalziel told the New Zealand site Newshub.

German pupils join the fray

DW's Kate Brady was at the protest in the German capital, Berlin, and tweeted about one banner that cited actor Channing Tatum as an example of "hotness", but warned rather of the kind of heat caused by climate warming. She said thousands were expected at the Berlin rally.

The protesters in Berlin, who included, for the first time, parents and scientists, planned to make a stop in front of Chancellor Angela Merkel's office. Several other German cities have also seen similar rallies.

Critics: Students should protest 'after school or on weekends'

Children say they are walking out of school to bring greater attention to the impending crises that will have more of an impact on their generation than on those making current policy.

Ardern's engagement has been unusual, as many politicians in countries such as the United Kingdom and the United States have chastized the children for missing a day of school.

"For action on issues that they think is important, they should do that after school or on weekends," Australia's Education Minister Dan Tehan told reporters ahead of protests in Melbourne.

In Germany, the leader of the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), Christian Lindner, went so far as to discourage the student's political engagement. He was then mocked on social media for writing on Twitter that "politics is for professionals."

Germany's Chancellor Merkel, however, has backed the protests, calling it a "very good initiative."

The Fridays for Future movement has become a global phenomenon since activist Greta Thunberg staged the first demonstration in front of the Swedish parliament building last August.

She came to worldwide attention when she was invited to address the UN Climate Conference in December. She has been nominated by three Norwegian lawmakers for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The protesters are all calling on the world's governments to work to keep the Earth's global temperature well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, as agreed by many leaders in Paris in 2015. At present, the world is on track for an increase of 4 degrees Celsius, which scientists say could have far-reaching and sometimes catastrophic effects on life on the planet.

Please visit the FFF website for more up to date information. They are all volunteers, and they need the funds to keep on fighting for survival. So please help them if you can.

GRETA THUNBERG - is a Swedish climate activist. At the COP24 climate talks in Poland, December 2018, Miss Thunberg addressed the Secretary-General of the United Nations. She received a standing ovation for one of her talks. She is behind the global school strike created to call attention to climate change. She is a rebel. With a cause. Miss Thunberg is 15 and autistic and the newest, youngest and most powerful voice on the world stage demanding the world address global warming.

DISCLAIMER  - For the avoidance of doubt, the Climate Change Trust is not in contact with Ms Thunberg, does not represent her, does not have her address, and would not give out that information without her express permission in any event. The Trust does not represent her in any way. We are though sympathetic to her causes and follow her progress as she may affect policy on climate change positively, even where she does not propose solutions, just calls for action, such calls are important reminders for world leaders that they are not doing enough to combat global warming.
