Students across Australia will skip school en masse to protest inaction on climate change, drawing both praise and criticism from pundits and politicians.
 |
| Prime Minister Scott Morrison told students to stay in school, urging "less activism". |
“We are school kids temporarily sacrificing our education in order to save our futures from dangerous climate change,” School Strike 4 Climate organisers said of the Friday protest.
While former Gillard government education minister and longtime environmental activist Peter Garrett applauded the students, the Prime Minister, many commentators and parents have slammed them as shirkers.
“The patronising idiocy of climate-deniers is contemptible,” Mr Garrett said on Thursday.
