The most glorious protest signs from UK kids skipping class for climate change

Thousands of school children in the UK are currently skipping class in favour of marching the streets in a call for world leaders to act on climate change.

Inspired by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg, who organised her own month-long strike outside the Swedish parliament to raise awareness of climate change, kids are stepping out in 60 locations across the United Kingdom, according to organisers Youth Strike 4 Climate.

The mass walkout was condemned by some politicians and celebrated by others, but the kids sure seem to mean business.
