You Have No Idea How Pissed Off My 21 Year Old Friend Is About Climate Change Being Ignored

[DanieRains]

No idea.

He is smart enough to understand just how screwed he will be.

No idea.....

[maxsolomon]

1. I have some idea.

Because I have a 33 year old that is pissed off, and I'm a 57 year old that is pissed off.

Greedy rich people & their Energy corporations have polluted the planet and the debate on ACC; they will live out their lives in comfort and leave the young to pick up the pieces.

[Texaswitchy]

2. I am 67 and I pissed off for me and my grandkids.

I voted for Carter and Gore.

[Demsrule86]

3. And I am sure you explained to him this is why we need more Democrats in Congress so we have the

votes to address this...we have a bare 50 50 Congress.

[Texaswitchy]

5. Yep.

People need to vote.

[AZProgressive]

7. All I can do is vote for Democrats we already have

I live in Greg Stanton’s district so all I can do is vote for him and Mark Kelly again. I can’t do anything except donate and I do to increase the majority. I donated to Charles Booker so hopefully he can take down Rand Paul. That is all some of us can do.

[Texaswitchy]

8. Still think about Carter and Gore.

What if..

[Demsrule86]

21. I do too...and Hillary too.

[CrispyQ]

4. Pissed off enough to keep voting, I hope.

And voting for dems & not repubs.

[Texaswitchy]

6. Yep.

[yonder]

9. Thats perfect.

[Demsrule86]

22. That is awesome and so true.

[markie]

10. maybe some of us have an idea

many here, including me, have been struggling with this for decades... 5 in my case... a slow boil

[Hortensis]

17. Me too, and that's about the number of elections I've waited for

young people who claim to care about climate change TO SHOW UP AND VOTE! In REAL numbers.

Even 5% additional turnout to the electoral totals, which progressive-minded young people could easily provide, would be a revolution across the board.

[betsuni]

23. +1

[Mosby]

11. Tell him to focus on getting enough money together

To buy land up near Canada. Over by MN away from the oceans is probably a good bet.

[DanieRains]

15. It Was 117 Degrees In Canada

Gotta go to Antarctica.

[Mosby]

16. The great lake states, Greenland, etc.

[LanternWaste]

20. How many of earth's human's can take advantage of that?

C'mon even a guess will do.

[Kaleva]

27. The people who take this seriously have already or are planning on moving.

If they are in a position to do so and resided in a region that is predicated to be hit hard by climate change.

The financially destitute, physically or mentally challenged along with climate change deniers may or will not relocate.

[NickB79]

18. I've got 1.5 acres near the Twin Cities

But I'm already scouting for 20-40 acres up by Duluth and Ely. You can still find raw woodland there under $2000/acre.

[Kaleva]

26. One can find wooded land in Upper Michigan for about a $1000 an acre.

[orwell]

12. Tell him/her...

...it is only being "ignored" by the ConKlownKar Party.

Democrats living on Earth 1 have made climate change a priority.

Jimmy carter put solar panels on the White House.
Al Gore wrote his alarming book An Inconvenient Truth.
Democratic Governors and Legislatures in two of our largest states are mandating electric car sales by the mid 2030's.

But in our system, the minority can block action on majority agendas. The Gas(bag) and Oil(y) RepubliCON party is fronting the oil and gas industry like a PR flack at a moron convention.

THAT IS WHY THEY YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO VOTE 100% DEMOCRATIC.

Their future depends on it...

[Sogo]

13. Ignored by whom?

By the younger generation who didn't vote?

By Biden, whose $3.5T infrastructure bill has many provisions to transition to green energy?

Ignored by whom?

[Texaswitchy]

14. I worked to many voter registration drives.

Tried like hell to get younger people to vote.

The voting age is 18, I voted in 1971.

These people would in their 40's now I guess.

We tried to replace the FDR democrats like my Grandparents and then my parents generation.

We tried.

[Hortensis]

19. Tell him he really needs to know about the historic Democratic climate plans.

I'm glad he's noticing there's a problem, but those who either don't care or claim to care but fail to join the people fighting climate change (because they don't even know they exist?!) have always been a huge part of the problem.

Glad he's voting age because all hands are needed.

Biden’s “all of government” plan for climate, explained
Rejoining the Paris agreement is just the start of Biden’s climate and clean energy policy.

[Kaleva]

25. What is he doing to prepare for it? I imagine if he's pissed, he's quite busy.

I spend anywhere from a few minutes to several hours most every day working to prepare for what is expected to come where I live.

[electric_blue68]

28. Too many people IGNORED Us back in the '80s when we marched for Renewable Energy! 😔

Which makes me angry for my younger relatives, humanity in general

[Raine]

29. I know because I'm just as passed off, I'm livid!!! 😡 nt

[betsuni]

30. Only Republicans are ignoring it.

The friend doesn't know this?
