Well she seems to be mobilizing the world's youth. Of course the youth aren't officially in power at this point but they do have influence and they will be in power soon. Fingers crossed.

Pelosi's a politician, not an activist. Ditto Clinton. They're not leading any progressive movements. Nor would I call entertainment celebrities leaders.
These are the progressives; the political left:
They don't look rich or privileged to me. I doubt many of them employ a PR team. I don't think they're spouting idiocy.
I can't make out their jeans....
They are their own, self-motivated progressive leaders. They're the people who make substantive change in society.

The youth in China have to do as they are told.
Oh, I disagree.
Peaceful discourse ruled (in the Ameristanian things....the others are less familiar).
Are you advocating abuse & insults to persuade GW deniers?
Is there any greater modern failure than Occupy Wall St?

No abuse, insults or violence. I advocate peaceful demonstrations, civil disobedience, &c.
Gandhi recommended assuming opponents were well intentioned but misinformed friends.
Donald Trump?
Trump has had some success in policy implementation.
But more germain to the thread, I think his style of
persuasion is poor. He has the power of the office,
but not of the spoken word, thus he fares poorly at
changing the minds of those who disagree with him.
Twenty or thirty years ago he was well spoken and fluent. He spoke in complete sentences and could stay on topic.
Really?
Then his style has taken a turn for the worse.

There are very very few deniers that are even willing to learn. All that you can do is to hope that they die off as quickly as possible.
That being said sequestering is not the answer. It will eventually be part of the solution. But the problem we face right now is that we produce far more carbon than we can sequester even with the most.optimistic numbers. First we need to cut carbon I production, then we can begin to put some of the excess away.
Example. Today's ramblings:‘I never understood wind’: Trump goes on bizarre tirade against wind turbines

What a sensible woman.
Thanks for sharing.
We need more information.
The EU is a dangerous organisation as this video shows –
Indoctrination of our children is their answer. As we know that technique has been used before.

Baloney.
America doesn't influence anything but fashion choices. If there is one thing that is more fashionable than the youth of the world disparaging and looking down on Americans, I don't know what it is.
Then why is immigration such a one way street to the West?

And as he gets deeper and deeper into his term as President it appears to have grown progressively worse.
So you thought more highly of earlier Trump?
Another way to see it is that he's moved from declaring
no new wars to still declaring no new wars (one close
call notwithstanding). In this significant regard, he's
not gotten worse.
