Children and climate

On NPR today they said that many children are suffering from anxiety over the future problems created by climate change. When elementary students are told that if something isn't done in the next 12 years that it will be to late and the world as they know it will disappear, it is likely that they will be upset. Tomorrow children will be allowed to skip school to express their concerns about this problem. Whom they will blame is up for grabs but perhaps they should go home and tell their parents to buy smaller cars and houses with no lawns, move closer to where they work and to throw out all the cleaning chemicals under the sink. They should be told that while the United States has made strides toward reducing CO2, Asia and Africa have been adding CO2. This can be dangerous because these are foreigners who have dark skin and in today's world someone will probably make a big deal of that.
