Good thing you're not the single person who became aware of the climate strike! I suspect many of the politicians who can actually influence things also remember the massive school strikes. Many protests are designed to raise awareness in addition to the 'stretch goal' of achieving direct results - so demonstrating that hundreds of thousands of school kids are this focused on the topic is a pretty good outcome even if some of the random people who were vaguely aware of the strikes can't do anything to help their demands. Said another way, it's not about you.

> so demonstrating that hundreds of thousands of school kids are this focused on the topic is a pretty good outcome I'm sure that 15 years after the "strike" when they all hit voting age this may become useful information, but the politicians today are probably not thinking that far ahead. > Said another way, it's not about you. This seems breathtakingly silly. I'm not saying it is about me.
