I am so worried about Adobe Flash being removed in 2020, all coolmathgamesforkids games will be gone, Club penguin rewritten just got on their feet and that will have to shut down? People have jobs designing games on flash specifically! Am I misinformed? Is there a way around this???

Overall, it's a good thing. Flash has been hard on developers everywhere and it'll be a relief to see it officially deprecated. I'm guessing some passionate soul will figure out how to port Club Penguin and other popular stuff into HTML5 or something.

After poking around, I see that this is well under way and your games are almost certainly going to see another day/platform :) https://tqdev.com/2016-porting-a-flash-game-to-html5

Thank Christ! I was worried about all of them, too bad the coolmathgames are mostly dead and not taken care of, so no one will be around to port them.

Games like these can easily be rewritten in something like JavaScript using newer libraries I'm sure. The flash player was already scaled back as is, Adobe Flash being renamed Adobe Animate and ActionScript 3.0 has largely become obsolete.
It's a shame to lose some old games, but kids probably aren't even playing flash games anymore, what with new web technologies and their mobile phones.
