Dear leaders: You've failed your children on climate change
CNN ^ | April 22, 2018 | by Jamie Margolin

Posted on 04/23/2018 5:47:49 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Dear leaders,

You failed us.

It's your responsibility to protect the youth.

But when faced with the choice of fossil fuel money for your campaigns, or the wellbeing of your children, you pick fossil fuels.

Today is Earth Day. Please save your phony Earth Day tweets and Facebook posts, I don't want to see them. Put those in a bag along with your toothless "thoughts and prayers" tweets for hurricane victims and dump them in the ocean just like you permit corporations to dump their waste.

Because my generation is so done with your talk.

I'm a 16-year-old sophomore in high school. I have my whole life ahead of me, and there's so much I want to do.

I want to travel the world and see all its natural wonders. I want to run for office so I can be the leader I always wished I had.

But I have to come to terms with the fact that all of the above very well may not happen: because I'm growing up in the early 21st century, a time when the world and all its life systems are falling apart. Climate change has loomed over my every life decision, every time I try to plan for the future.

Prepare to see us in your offices more and more often. Prepare to be voted out.

Leaders, I want you to know that the youth are watching.

See you this July.

Sincerely,

A teenage girl who has had enough and is not alone

Nope. They have enumerated powers and they'll still get an argument from me when they use them.

I am a 16-year-old sophomoron ...

By the way, what life systems are all falling apart? The planet is in better shape today than it was 50 years ago.

In the meantime, she’s grinding her heels on the shoulders she stands upon.

You can stop paying attention to what she thinks right there.

Why not be concerned that children today are spending more time on social media and playing computer games than talking to their parents? The growing suicide rate among young people will kill far more than “climate change.”

So you walk to school and have no petroleum products? You don’t use electricity to make the computer you used to compose your little tantrum go?

Get lost little hypocrite.

If her generation is fortunate, this little brat will be the next to join those ranks.

When she grows up and hopefully gets some sense into her head, she’ll realize that her adult leaders failed her by running up a $20+ trillion dollar deficit that she has to repay.

The world will be gone before you are 18, destroyed by Global Warming.

Give up now.

Remember when kids use to rebel against the older generation? Now they just mouth what their nutty parents and teachers recite. Mindless.

You can tell she’s a leftist. She has that same angry look like David Hogg and that fat slob of a professor at Fresno State. They’re never happy until everyone else is miserable like them.

Not to mention that handy dandy smart phone she no doubt carries around with her 24/7.

‘Earth Day....started by the murderer, Ira Einhorn. I am truly burned out on Leftists proclaiming ‘the children will lead us’. ‘The Children’ don’t have the life experiences that will give them the wisdom to lead. Give them a decade or two and then see what they think. Our Founding Fathers were wise enough to limit the higher political offices to people over a certain age. NO, to giving 16 year olds the right to vote.

Not only are they teaching them this garbage in school, she probably gets extra credit for the letter and double if it’s published.
