Snip: The evidence here that global warming is driving humanity to, as Al Gore put it, “a collision between our civilization and the planet,” is still debatable and therefore not quite large enough to meet the claim.

Kids dont have the same rights as adults, like the right to protest at school, sorry but the conservatives on SCOTUS have spoken.

As for the Western world not experiencing their cities being bombed, most people there still suffer from the bomb scares because of old WWI and WWII muntions. Not to mention terrorism, which they managed to beat without violating civil rights.
