I am incredibly proud of the kids. It's amazing seeing kids getting involved in civil matters, and fighting for what they believe in. Climate change; common sense gun laws; registering to vote where they can. Just so many important causes.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-49795270

UN Secretary General António Guterres said countries can only speak at the summit if they come with action plans to reduce carbon emissions. The US, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia refused to attend.

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said the amount of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere between 2015 and 2019 had grown by 20% compared with the previous five years.

That is terrifying me. I just now found that out.

The mayor of Montreal spoke... just saying. Not everyone is in denial, thank goodness.

The one in Montreal walked around the building in which I work. Half a million people. It was really impressive.

Wow! That is incredible. To get so many people together, to stand up for something good, and to save the planet.

I haven't seen any real news, so I think I missed it all. I'll check online.
