Of course, our generation did worry about the end of the war, every time we sat under our desks as part of a nuclear bomb drill. So all this is not completely new.
But hopefully her generation will knock some sense in tthe heads of the world leaders and get them to change their ways.

6. ...and since 1992, what has been done? Little to nothing. And the past 7-8 years... |

...any action on climate change has been completely stalled by the obstinate asses in the White House.
SOMEBODY ought to strap GWB in a room and make him watch that video LOUD for about 36 hours straight. Sitting cold, naked, no food, water, sleep, or clothing - just like they do at Gitmo. Deprive the asshole. For the FIRST time in his life, deprive him of just a tiny iota of what he's depriving everyone (and everything) else of with his psychopathic policies - not that I think he'd emerge any wiser or any more human. He wouldn't.
That man and his crime ring is a hopeless case. I just hope they haven't made US one.

7. And, according to Monkeyboy, money trumps peace..... |

as well as saving the world for future generations. For the ones in power, money trumps everything.

8. John Lennon said it best.... |

You say you want a revolution Well you know We all want to change the world You tell me that it's evolution Well you know We all want to change the world But when you talk about destruction Don't you know you can count me out...
You say you got a real solution Well you know We'd all love to see the plan You ask me for a contribution Well you know We're doing what we can But when you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is brother you have to wait...
You say you'll change the constitution Well you know We all want to change your head You tell me it's the institution Well you know You better free your mind instead...
How I miss John & his music!

on edit: how so very sad, the adults listening to her in rapt attention ... yet we still are doing to our planet and her inhabitants the very thing Severn implored us to stop doing.
