To all of these comments ridiculing the age of the kids involved: I remember being a 3rd grader. No, I didn't understand the interworkings or politics or science of the issues (though I had a faint knowledge of the basics), but I did have a basic set of morals, and I did have independent thoughts. I remember my parents teaching me a small amount about climate change, and being horrified. They didn't talk about it very often to me, but I remember caring about the environment more than the majority of my peers, and being so frustrated by that. The only reason I wanted to grow up was so that I could do more for the world. I'm not saying that these kids aren't heavily influenced by their parents, but that doesn't mean that they don't have some independednt thoughts or morals. The smallest of the bunch aren't writing political scripts. They just know that old people will find them cute, and if that's the only thing that they can do to help what they care abou,
