<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nHere are excerpts from the CPNN Bulletin of April, 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n Millions of students went on strike from school on March 15 to pressure their governments to address seriously the problem of global warming. Photos from that day on CPNN show their demonstrations around the world: in the UK, Australia, Philippines, Sweden, Italy, Uganda, Belgium, USA, Canada, Portugal, Ukraine, Spain, Chile, Nigeria, France and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n The movement has been inspired by the actions of a girl in Sweden, Greta Thunberg, who sat last year by herself outside the Swedish parliament to demand that they take action. Since then Greta has spoken out in many venus, including the meeting of the world\u2019s richest bankers and executives in Davos, Switzerland. Her words at Davos struck a chord, especially among young people around the world: \u201cAct As If Our House Is on Fire. Because It Is.\u201d She has even been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. If Thunberg won, the 16-year-old would be the youngest winner ever and the second after 2007 co-winners former U.S. Vice President Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to be honored for work on climate change.<\/p>\n UN Secretary-General Antonio Gutteres has praised the youth movement, saying that \u201c\u201cThese schoolchildren have grasped something that seems to elude many of their elders\u201d, he said, adding that \u201cwe are in a race for our lives, and we are losing. The window of opportunity is closing; we no longer have the luxury of time, and climate delay is almost as dangerous as climate denial.\u201d The Secretary-General acknowledged that his older generation \u201chas failed to respond properly to the dramatic challenge of climate change. This is deeply felt by young people. No wonder they are angry.\u201d<\/p>\n Representing CPNN, I had the chance to go to the march and demonstration of school students in New York against climate change on Friday, March 15. There were a series of demonstrations ending up with a big enthusisastic crowd at the Museum of Natural History. The average age was under 20. I\u2019d have to back to the 60\u2019s, 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s to remember big demonstrations with majority youth.
