When I was about 15 years old, I started organizing around climate change, working with friends to organize teach-ins at high schools and middle schools around the region. At 18, I attended the United Nations Climate Conference in Peru in 2014, the meeting that preceded the Paris climate summit, where a landmark global agreement on climate change was signed. If I could go back in time, I would have never attended the conference — it aroused in me an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness and hopelessness that led me away from the climate movement for years. The huge jump in scale alongside the hyper-individual and competitive atmosphere of the conference caused me to lose any sense of individual efficacy or collective power.
There is no doubt that climate change will define our futures, regardless of actions taken in the coming years; action today will affect the degree of harm but not the fact that we have transitioned into a period in which our ecological systems are being irreparably transformed by human activity. Harm which — it is important to note — is caused disproportionately by a global minority: largely wealthy, largely white.
Recent years have seen many young people emerge as leaders of movements for social change, with young women of color taking the lead. The climate movement shows us that there is room to find collective power organizing in our communities. Improving access to civic engagement opportunities will not only strengthen our democracy but help address a growing mental health crisis.

“If they just killed all the white old folks, the young people would feel so much better...“
In a few short years, many of us will be gone…
THEN, they’ll REALLY panic. And start eating each other..
Whatever age you are now, you are a con artist.
Translation: Climate Fraud and Control is Taking it’s Toll on Youth as Planned 🤪
Nope. A series of accusations is not analysis. Of course, it's racist to point that out.
No- what is taking a toll is the constant fear mongering and brain washing of the rudents as they are gaslighted and conditioned to be,even thwy man is responsible for an entirely natural cyclical event. The earth warms, it cools, it always has, and always will. But you have uninformed mouthpieces like greta running around spouting insane accusations, and kids get all worked up thinking that their parents are committing egeregious “envirosins” and demanding that their own parents be punished for it.
The left are preaching a religion of nature worship, and are responsible for filling kid’s minds full of utter bull poops
Constantly lying to young people that the world is ending and that they are going to live their lives in a horrible dystopian future is causing mental health issues. Telling people they are either oppressed victims or evil oppressors based on their skin color is causing mental health issues. Brainwashing kids that they can select or change their gender despite biology is causing mental health issues. All part of the plan...
They're not children to Deep State.
Just more of Fauci's beagles.
Its a no-brainer!! Politicians, both in office and vying for office, bang the drum, the idiots swallow it, and thenn when nobody chases the wolf, panic sets in.
Convincing young skulls full of mush that humans can control the climate is the primary cause for their anguish. If there is anguish. Probably most kids are like....any new PS-4 (or whatever number it’s up to) or Virtual reality games out yet or the latest craze tiktok chiNUH video? But, the indoc centers will keep pushing that and how evil white people are.
There is nothing about “Brennan” that helps with actual “justice.”
“When I was about 15 years old, I started organizing around climate change”
When I was 15, I was playing baseball and chasing girls.
The world is indeed a differnt place.
Filling their heads full of bullshite about “climate change” is what’s taking its toll.
I went to elemtaryschool in the 1960s and high school in 70s.
I remember them bringing in games that constantly predicted shortages of food and energy. I specifically remember one where where headed off food shortage (for a while) by cutting medical care so more of the little aliens (forget what they were called) would die.
There was another one predicted energy shortages no matter what you did. The games were fun and we enjoyed playing them (despite their no-win scenario nature). But after we were done, we went back to school work and mostly forgot about them.
But If someone like me can undergo that sort of brainwashing and turn out properly cynical about government and environmentalism, then they can, too.
I agree completely. Young people haven’t been through all that; we have and have learned to be skeptical.
Blame the Population Control hucksters for their fraudulent scare mongering.
“with young women of color taking the lead”, because it’s the only job they can get with their underwater basket weaving degree.
This is where the best grifting jobs are, especially if you can check all the DEI boxes.
They better get used to it as we are just at the beginning of this never-ending cyclical event.

...leading to many of them dying “suddenly”, with none of these deaths having anything to do with any of them having been vexxationated.
