This is an opinion in response to the article on September 20 titled "Potsdam Students Protest Climate Change". Someone needs to tell them that they are being duped and used. Friday's worldwide demonstration was organized by the Leftists/ Socialists/ Communists/ Progressives/Democrats/ Globalists/ Soros Followers of the world. Take your pick.

They are indoctrinating the youth to believe that their very futures are in danger unless climate change practices are made into law now so that the way people live can be controlled. It is not about climate change, it is about control and power. These students need to consider this very real possibility and question their beliefs.

The Leftists know that if they control the next generation of potential lawmakers, then they are in! So they are instilling real fear in the next generation to get them on the proper (not "right") side so that the freedoms that we have been blessed with as Americans can be taken away, and we will be forced to live in a world controlled by those people, otherwise known as Socialism/ Communism, an always failed system that thrusts the people into third world abject poverty, ie. Venezuela or the former Soviet Bloc.

Climate Change is a dog whistle for redistribuition of wealth: Take from each according to their ability, and give to each according to their needs. Students: Investigate, question and read history! Also, the climate of our planet has been changing for 4.6 billion years and will continue to do so. Read your earth science texts about how climate has changed over the about 200,000 years that modern humans have lived on this earth.
