We need to get millions of children age 5 years to 22 years old to ask their mom, their dad, their teacher... :
"Am I going to have coral reefs when I grow up and have kids?"
"Am I going to have millions and millions of different species of animals just like everyone else always has?"
"Am I going to have to pay one out of every three dollars I make to pay for your delay in switching to wind and sun, to protect our cities against rising oceans, destroyed food crops, and stuff?"
"Am I going to have to go and die in wars over food and water and land disappearing under the ocean?"
"Will there be fish in the oceans like you had? Will the seas be dead?"
"Will I have rivers and lakes to fish in, like you had? Will they be gone, or dead?"
"Are you going to listen to the coal and oil companies and the politicians instead of the scientists when it comes to these things in my future?"
"Will you promise me that when I ask you these things 10 years from now that A. you will be proud of your answer?, and B. you can say that you really knew what you were talking about, today?"
MAKE IT SO.
