I only trudged through a half foot of snow once after a sudden blizzard while I was at school without boots! 3 flat blocks. But it felt like 3 feet uphill!
It doesn’t work with GenX either, but our generation was too small compared to the other generations, so we couldn’t put those plans into action. Took Millennials and Gen Z to push it.
It’s not ‘who’ heated up the planet, but ‘what’ heated up the planet. Don’t believe the loony left; were just in a mild warming cycle. These are the same loons that tried to foist Harris and her idiotic leftist dogma on us and that didn’t work out to well for them either.
You’ve got to love the way kids blame the older generations for Global Warming but in my day, a ‘school run’ meant an event on school sports day. Kids today never object to being ferried to and from school or jetting off to sunnier climes.
In my day we were happy to walk or cycle to school and holiday in Bognor.We also used to get up at 6 o’clock in the morning and lick road wi’ tongue!
My kids’ dad used to say “Uphill both ways.” One day my son said, “You weren’t very smart, Dad. You should have turned around and gone the other way!” He always was witty.
A foot of snow to an ant? That would like us walking through an 300’ ice glacier in the last Ice age! No human is alive on earth who’s done that. School was tough in the ice age. Gen Z the Zero generation or Zombie Generation, should be worried science tells us the next Ice Age is over due.
When I was a kid, my school was a half mile away. I went to a Catholic School, so first we went to mass every morning then we marched over in formation to class. Except on first Friday when we went to mass, received communion, walked back home to eat breakfast then walk back to school.
We also walked back and forth for lunch. We did not have a gym class; we didn’t need one. Also we didn’t have recess. It was wall-to-wall class between mass and dismissal with only lunch as a break. It’s amazing how any of us could pay attention long enough to learn anything.
I walked uphill to school in my father’s pajamas in 3 foot deep snow ..both ways!! lol. Actually where I was a forces brat, we lived on a military base, and school was on the base as well, and NEVER closed. Streets were cleared very quickly. No snow days for us.
i had to google it years ago – i grew up in Providence RI, and from 5th to 8th grade (Catholic school only had 3 buses) we had to walk and it was 1.6 miles one way…good times
Actually kid, it started long before us. T least as far as the late 18th century, and a case could be made for earlier. I just picked the first practical steam engine.
It’s comforting to see only a minority of commentors are in denial when it comes to Climate Change these days.
Predicted by scientists as far back as 70 years ago, we’re now seeing the evidence all around us and there’ll always be those that are complacent. “l’ve had my fun and that’s all that matters.”
I see the idiot trolls are continuing to get their “news” from The National Enquirer or Alex Jones. You know an entity that recognizes the objective reality of climate change and is scrambling to deal with its consequences? THE PENTAGON.
Kids these days got it easy! Back when I was a kid, we had to walk seven miles to school every day, through the rain and the sleet and the snow. Into the wind and uphill in both directions! And our parents had to work 27 hours per day, 14 days a week! They had to get up to go to work seven hours before they got off work the day before. And we only had rocks and gravel to eat, but we were happy to get that! And we lived in a shoe box on the freeway! But we were better off than my cousins who had to live in an old paper bag in the back of the city dump! etc.

Does every cartoonist believe in the global warming myth? Or is it just a vehicle for an overused joke?
