When President Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, the U.S. was in the depths of the Great Depression. A quarter of Americans were unemployed, there were long lines of hungry people at soup kitchens, and people were desperate. Roosevelt immediately began enacting a series of government programs designed to help Americans and get the economy moving again. The programs were collectively known as the New Deal.

Now, some lawmakers are saying that the threat of climate change demands a similar scope of intervention and investment. They're calling their initiative a Green New Deal. But not everyone thinks this is the right thing to do. Two senators debate whether the nation should adopt a Green New Deal.

They are in open revolt.

Anxious about their future on a hotter planet, angry at world leaders for failing to stop the crisis, thousands of young people around the globe poured into the streets on Friday for a day of climate protest.

At a time of fraying trust in authority figures, young people are increasingly driving the debate over how to avert the most catastrophic effects of climate change. Using the internet, they're organizing across continents like no generation before them.

"I feel hopeful seeing the power of all these people here today, calling to end fossil fuels and build a better future for us," said Marisol Rivera, 13, who was among thousands of protesters gathered in New York City.

Rarely, if ever, has the modern world witnessed a youth movement so large and wide, spanning across societies rich and poor. In the U.S., major protests were planned in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, and many other cities.

"What's unique about this is that young people are able to see their future is at risk today," said Kumi Naidoo, the head of Amnesty International and a longtime campaigner for environmental issues. "I certainly hope this is a turning point."

The climate protests on Friday spanned the planet. In Quezon City, in the Philippines, protesters held a sign that read: "Dead Planet Soon. Act Now!" In Nairobi, Kenya, one sign said "Climate Emergency Now." About 100,000 protesters took to the streets in Berlin, Germany. Thousands turned out to protest in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, which remains reliant on coal for its energy.

"We all know what the problem is," said Antonia Brüning, 14, at the Berlin protest. "So why isn't anything happening?"

In the Indian capital, New Delhi, where air pollution is among the worst in the world, dozens of protesters gathered outside a government building. "I want to breathe clean," they chanted.

No protests were authorized in China, the world's biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions.

In the U.S., strikes were planned in all 50 states. By late morning, protesters across the Eastern Seaboard were streaming out of schools and office buildings, pooling around steps of local city halls. In Baltimore, the police blocked roads as students arrived on foot, scooter, and skateboard. In St. Petersburg, Florida., about 200 protesters convened in at City Hall, including one dressed as a polar bear with a sign that said "Climate Action Now."

In Des Moines, Iowa, around 500 protesters with signs gathered outside the State Capitol building under a cloudless sky, sweat rolling down their faces as temperatures hovered around 83 degrees.

The generational outcry comes as planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions continue to soar, even as their effects-including rising seas, intensifying storms, debilitating heat waves, and droughts-can be felt more and more.

Average global temperatures have risen by about 1 degree Celsius since the start of the Industrial Age in the late 18th century, and the world as a whole remains far from meeting its obligations under the Paris Agreement, the landmark climate accord designed four years ago to keep temperatures from rising to catastrophic levels. President Trump has said the United States, which has contributed more emissions than any country since the start of the Industrial Age, will pull out of the accord. Trump has said the agreement places too much of a burden on American businesses.

Certainly, this isn't the first time in modern history that young people have been stressed about their future and galvanized around a cause. Young people led social movements against the Vietnam War and for civil rights in the United States.

Whether this generation of protesters will have any direct impact is unlikely to be clear for years.

"They are mobilized around an issue of consistent concern across countries and across geographic areas," said Dana R. Fisher, a sociologist at the University of Maryland who studies contemporary protest movements. "It spans the developing-developed country divide. There aren't that many issues that would unify in such a manner. And we all know the burden of climate change will fall on these kids' shoulders when they are adults. They are acutely aware as well."

Climate Change is a serious issue that is hurting our environment. It is a man-made issue as a result of Green House Gases.

# data[].attributes.body
In recent years, Earth has become warmer. The cause of this rise in temperature is most likely greenhouse gases.

# data[].attributes.body
Human actions are creating new greenhouse gases. Some of these gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases rise into the atmosphere and stay there. They trap too much of the sun's light and heat.

# data[].attributes.body
The warming of the planet causes many problems. Global warming may harm the planet in several ways.

# data[].attributes.body
such as dangerous heat, heavy rains, and high waters. These effects of climate change harm living things on Earth.

# data[].attributes.body
They also save energy whenever possible. For instance, they may ride a bike instead of driving a car. They turn off the lights when leaving a room

For example, people have found ways to get energy from the sun and wind.

# data[].attributes.body
Many people have also begun using energy from safer sources. Doing this is less harmful than using fossil fuels. Over time, it may help end global warming.

Many people are trying to create less greenhouse gas.

If climate change keeps increasing ice caps would melt, sea levels will rise, and we could lose polar bear ecosystems.

# data[].attributes.body
If the earth continues to warm up we will lose bears and the entire polar ecosystem

Animals across the world are losing their homes and are being affected by global warming.

Engineer's can make new inventions to revers climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
kids around the world want action for climate change.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate Change is an issue because it is hurting our world and that is all done by humans and as of result it's damaging our earth's future.

Global warming is the cause for the ice caps to melt.

Although giving up petroleum sources would help the environment, giving up oil and gas would be very hard because it's everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
Humans are increasing the rate of climate change

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is an issue that is already defined and it is not an arguable debate.

Energy can jump up to 3,800 a year

# data[].attributes.body
Our oceans have warmed up, snow and ice have diminished and sea levels and risen

the deal wouldn't achieve their climate change goals because nations like India, China, American have emissions

SMR is a good idea.

# data[].attributes.body
SRM would have an immediate dramatic effect and  reduce global temperatures to levels from before the Industrial Revolution.

# data[].attributes.body
Climate change is definitely an issue caused by humans that we should be addressing.

# data[].attributes.body
SRM could be a good stopgap measure to buy time until people are able to make a low-emission economy.

# data[].attributes.body
SRM could affect agriculture.

# data[].attributes.body
By reducing your meat and dairy consumption can reduce the carbon footprint

# data[].attributes.body
Scientists caution that there could be physical repercussions: Hazy skies could unintentionally change weather patterns and rainfall—possibly for the worse.

SRM is a bad idea. lol

Analysis-Because there's evidence that humans are rapidly changing the world's climate, for example the difference in today's weather versus before the Industrial revolution where humans began emitting more greenhouse gases, this shows that we should be concerned about climate change and the way humans are speeding it up.

plastic can be useful to reduce less fuel and it will benfit us to reduce climate change
