The Sunrise Movement is an American youth-led political movement coordinated by Sunrise, a 501 political action organization that advocates political action on climate change.

Wonder if they are old enough to remember when it was called Global Warming;)

why is it, that every bill, every everything, in America today, is demanded to include environmental propaganda, sexual appeasement, racial appeasement, lgbtxyz appeasement etc, etc. propaganda and a whole lot of virtue-signaling politically correct platitudes that won’t matter a wit in reality but in that same reality will cost taxpayers billions in stupid wealth confiscation ‘regulations’ ??

Stop it. Just stop it. Pass the bloody treaty. For the love of all that’s sane, get on with it and stop nitpicking life to death.
