Recently we have seen a series of protests and student strikes over Climate Change by young people, inspired by the actions of Greta Thunberg. I showed Greta's comments to my groups who have been studying Climate Change some weeks ago, and they have now grown in scale, and global extent.
My niece was pictured on the front of the local paper taking part in one of the protests locally.
There was also an excellent cartoon by Ben Jennings on this theme.
Steve Brace wrote a piece on the importance of teaching (and learning) about climate change.
Don’t ask what will happen.

Another comment was made yesterday by the excellent Rebecca Solnit, in an opinion piece in The Guardian.Whether your pupils are climate striking or not - geography ensures they understand about this important issue. My piece on this issue for the TES today https://t.co/NqFRBhWrML @IOE_mageoged @tes #geographyteacher @nicholascrane— Steve Brace (@SteveBraceGeog) February 15, 2019
Don’t ask what will happen.
Be what happens.
Today, you are what is happening.
Today, your power will be felt.
Today, your action matters.
Today in your individual action you may stand with a few people or with hundreds, but you stand with billions around the world.
Today you are standing up for people not yet born, and those ghostly billions are with you too.
Today you are the force of possibility that runs through the present like a river through the desert.
The UN Secretary General has announced a climate summit & Greta Thunberg has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Things are perhaps going to happen... and they need to...
