Last Friday\u2019s global student-led climate strike to #UpRootTheSystem was a reminder that young people know what\u2019s at stake. They\u2019re fighting back, demanding real action now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one young climate activist pointed out, \u201cLip service doesn\u2019t save lives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From coast to coast\u2014and around the globe\u2014young people spoke powerfully at their local climate strikes. One of them was a 15-year-old student named Jane Elliott. Speaking to the hundreds of supporters who came out in Halifax, she shared the alarming takeaways from the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report<\/a>. Jane then went on to say this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freaked out? Me too, it\u2019s a lot to take in all at once. In fact, you might be thinking it\u2019s too much to tackle. There\u2019s no way we can fix it, right? Didn\u2019t I just say the impacts are already hitting? But let\u2019s pause for a second. It\u2019s a widely held belief that the reason we haven\u2019t acted against the climate crisis is because it\u2019s more profitable to stay complacent. But more profitable for who? Because it\u2019s not more profitable for the farmers who can\u2019t grow enough crops to make a living anymore. And it\u2019s not more profitable to the coastal communities that are getting demolished by hurricanes. It\u2019s more profitable for oil and gas companies.\u00a0So before you lose all hope, remember who that serves.<\/strong>

The climate is changing, and it will continue to do so. But if we can put the lives of the many over the profit of the few in these next few years, we can do critical damage control. 1.5 degrees of warming is not an impossible target, despite what fossil fuel interests may want you to believe. And every degree of warming matters. We just can\u2019t settle for the vague and underwhelming targets our leaders are setting right now.

This isn\u2019t an all or nothing, and the fight isn\u2019t over until there\u2019re no lives left to protect.<\/strong>

So, please, I know firsthand how easy it is to want to give up on us, to blame it on human nature. It\u2019s a completely reasonable reaction, and, for most of us, it\u2019s inevitable. I\u2019m not asking you to bury that feeling, but I am asking us to support each other through that feeling, and remind ourselves that it serves only the profit margins of a few to think that way.

Let’s replace the fear of the future with hope for the solutions, and when that feels unrealistic, fight for our future out of pure spite. Keep demanding accountability and action from our leaders, and keep demanding justice for our most affected. We deserve it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Jane and other young leaders\u2014we hear you and we’re with you, every step of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
