What impressive young men and women.
quote:
A day after the activist Greta Thunberg rallied millions to demand action on climate change during the global climate strike, a group of hundreds more young people from around the world gathered with her at the United Nations' headquarters in New York to take the next step.
They came from small islands in the Pacific Ocean that hover just feet above the surface of the water, and where sea-level rise is a daily concern. They came from deep in the Amazon rainforest, where trees are being burned and indigenous peoples are being pushed out of their homes.
More than 500 strong, these young people from around the globe flocked to the first UN Youth Climate Summit over the weekend to discuss how to solve the climate crisis.

Lamboginny (née Yinka Lawanson), 34, is a musician from Nigeria who said his interest in climate issues started five years ago.
->What do you do to fight climate change?
I'm a musician and a global prison ambassador. I set up my prison advocacy when I was 23 years old, using music as a tool for reformation.
Due to climate change, there's a lot of migration going on. And when there is migration, the tendency for the people migrating to be detained or end up in prison in the location they're migrating to is very high.
Through my organization, we raise funds to pay bail for innocent, minor offenders. In Nigeria, we've gotten freedom for 120 people.

Penny Tovar is 24. A social-media influencer and nurse from Portland, Oregon, she is an advocate for vegan and cruelty-free beauty who said she's been involved in climate issues for only about two months.
->What do you do to fight climate change?
I do content on YouTube and Instagram about beauty. I don't promote anything unless it's vegan, cruelty-free. I also work with beauty-recycling programs, so you can send them your empty containers and they recycle it for you.
What impressive young men and women.

It’s all so tiresome at this point man. Shut down the oil industry, import millions of migrants, impeach Trump. Whatever they want to do.

I hate liberals. All of you. Only three exceptions.

Honestly, if that’s where we’re gonna end up then just hurry up and get to the point already.

Predicted ice age didn’t work out
Global warming didn’t work out
Call it climate change and you can encompass everything up down hot cold

They’re so brave
I’m hoping once Drumpf and his Nazi storm troopers are stopped, we can get real leadership in D.C. to save our environment

Did she, though? Did she "rally millions to demand action"? Or did she just get a bunch of likes on social media?

Mini-AOC gonna grow up to be a famous comedian. She has the stage presence down. And I bet she at the least writes some of her material. We ought to pitch in money to make sure she can afford the best Ivy League education. Because people obviously did that for Barak H Obama.
