Hi, the message is great, and full of hope - that the millennials' concern for the environment will save our planet. I so much hope that that is true, but, my own experience (I'm 70) says that we have already passed the so-called 'tipping point'. During my long years on this planet I have never seen such frequent and massively destructive extreme weather events as I witness today. The Arctic and the Antarctic are the most fragile ecosystems of all and they directly affect what happens on the rest of the planet. It is unbelievable what is happening to both of these ecosystems. Sadly, I believe that the changes occurring around us today are already irreversible, much as I would like to believe otherwise. Who to blame? Our politicians who care about nothing more than getting re-elected, and their always mantra of jobs, jobs, jobs in the oil patch, energy sector, for example. They could have - no, in fact they did - see this coming, yet did nothing to stop the snowball already rolling down the hill. And then beyond the politicians we have to blame ourselves (well some of us do) for electing these cretins to office. So where does the responsibility ultimately lie?
All you have to do is return to beta. Back to glass back to cloth stop making new plastic stop using commercial plastic limited to medical. Stop meat production to 6 months a year you must slow your consumption

The type of change presented here is way to slow to have any appreciable impact on climate change.
Those who remember how it used to be are dying off now too...We need to find new inspiration to help this carry on..Start recording your stories...
While this generation could give two shits.

No, it wouldn't. As it can't work.
