Nothing like having a bunch of neurotic, doom-focused kiddies working for companies, needing lots of time off and lots of kid gloves, eh?
Young people who are considering careers in climate change work have a significant advantage over older generations because they will not have to invest the same amount of effort convincing people that human-caused climate change is a problem, Vice President Kamala Harris told an audience at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta.
“Students who are here and those who are thinking about their role in this: You are going to come out and just leapfrog over all of us,” Harris said on Wednesday.
“Because, you know, especially for our younger leaders, the benefit that you have is you’re not burdened by any question about, ‘Is this real?’” she said.
That’s not currently the case, Harris said. “That is great because we’ve been having to deal with some folks who just literally … we’re kind of like, ‘Have you looked out the window?’”
I can’t wait till the youts modify their own lives to be carbon neutral, instead of taking lots of fossil fueled trips to places to take selfies and videos, etc and so forth, all the things I’ve written hundreds of times.
“Let’s all stay active in this and understand … this is the planet we’ve got. It is a precious place. It is — it is a place that we have a responsibility for taking care of, and that there is a whole lot of work that can be done,” Harris said. “But the clock is not just ticking, it’s, like, banging. It is requiring us to move quickly. But there is so much to be excited about in terms of what we can do.”
Banging! It’s banging! And then Kamala took a fossil fueled flight back to D.C.
