These are the same people who use immense amounts of power to take their photos and videos and to stream other videos, plus movies and TV shows. Who seem to spend more time inside making TikToks than being outside in nature. Who always need a new phone, disposing of the old ones. Who are probably the largest group using vapes and disposing of the cartridges. Who are the biggest buyers of fast fashion. And energy drinks. Oh, and take long, fossil fueled trips to a climate conference to complain about That Guy having a big carbon footprint
Young people at COP28 call on world to “do better” to address climate change
Young people at COP28 in Dubai are calling on the world to “do better” to ensure their countries — and the planet — are habitable for generations to come.
The big picture: COP28 kicked off its second week with youth day, injecting energy in what will undoubtedly be the toughest days so far as negotiators work to hammer out some of the thorniest issues for the final text of the key Global Stocktake document. (snip)
“We don’t have enough time for discussions. We have to act now,” said Grace Malie, a 24-year-old youth delegate from the Pacific island nation of Tuvalu.
That’s a seriously long flight. Why does Tuvalu even have airports, considering how much they’ve been whining about climate doom?
It was a sentiment echoed by 26-year-old Tamala Pita from Tuvalu. But Pita, who is attending COP for the second time, said she also believes the climate summit gives young people the chance to keep the issues affecting their peers back home part of the conversations.
It’s almost 8,500 miles from Tuvalu to Dubai, which is more than most people fly in a decade or more, and that’s direct miles, not the number it would take for the multiple connections necessary. The typical American drives 12,000 miles a year. These two youts have well exceeded that with their round-trip flights.
Ahmed Abdi Osman, a 25-year-old representative of Somalia’s Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, agreed.
“As a youth leader, we are here to share our knowledge, to share our experience to share our insights from other youth leaders,” Osman told Axios after engaging with other youth leaders on a panel about the role of young people in climate action.
Who made you a leader? Is that like being a self-titled influence or Instagram model? Did you sail to Dubai or bike?
But they say it’s not enough. “There needs to be better efforts being put in by countries who are emitting the most while we’re at home feeling the most of the effects of climate change. People need to do better,” Pita said.
You and the other 90k in attendance? Why must other people pay for your beliefs?
Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees preindustrial levels is “not a goal for us, it’s a limit. Because once we exceed that, our lands become uninhabitable … And then, when we’re forced to move, where can we go, where we can practice the same traditions and culture?”
Uninhabitable! What happens when that threshold is crossed and everything’s fine, just like during previous Holocene warm periods? Who will get flogged at the masthead for scaremongering?
[…] Youts Call On Other People To “Do Better” At Climate (scam) Conference […]
“As a youth leader, we are here to share our knowledge, to share our experience to share our insights from other youth leaders,”
No, THAT’S funny! It’s bizarre that we treat people up to their early 20’s like children with regard to some things like student loans (the poor dears just didn’t understand…!), but insist they be treated like village elders brimming with wisdom in other areas?
Bitter old men hate the young, they always have that is one reason they send the mes off tonear.
You left us really generalized broadly don’t you? We have noticed that leftist old men hate the young that’s why they kill them in the womb. Who’s killed more young men do you think communists and Nazi leftists or Republicans? now are these bitter old men Democrats?
You seem to be a bitter old man and a nasty MF too, how many young have you sent off to war? Just the ones in the Ukraine? Oh bet you were behind every war that Democrats supported every single one. And you were against every war that the Republicans supported.
Teach what temp increase during the Holocene would you consider “normal”?
Historically have we ever had temps increase at the rate they are increasing now globally?
It took 5000 years during the last Ice Age to increase the temps 5C degrees
Yes we have, Johnny-earlier in the Holocene
I won’t be around to see it, but it will be poetic justice when the next generation figures out that the policies that the current lot of “activists” have demanded in the name of environmental and social justice not only created far worse conditions in both areas but come at much greater financial cost and deprived them of their liberty. If you think these “youts” are pissed, just wait.
Enjoy your bugs and 15 minute cities, bitches!!
Since we humans have shown no predilection for taking sufficient actions to stop global warming, future generations WILL be pissed, but not for the reason you imagine.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
ChickenShit,
No, the sky is not falling, but it IS warming. At least in the lower altitudes. As predicted, the upper atmosphere is actually cooling since less infrared radiation is reaching the stratosphere. Curiously, the wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation reduced are those absorbed by greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide. As predicted.
Although I support nations taking action to slow warming, I’m on your side, and don’t believe we’ll do it.
Since fake scientists and fraudulent predictions have all turned out to be phony fake and wrong maybe there is no global warming! In fact I would dare to say the small amounts of increases and or decreases we have witnessed are perfectly normal. Prove me wrong.
Since you’re such a scientific expert answer one question, can men get pregnant? If your answer is anything but no that you’re a phony or a liar one or the other. Either way your predictions can’t be trusted neither can you your theories.
CarolAnn,
What evidence can you cite to support your hypothesis that the current bout of warming is “natural”.
A person needs a uterus, properly supported by hormones, to be pregnant.
A question for you. Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? If your answer is anything but no, you’re a phony or a liar, or both.
Youts say yummy. No hypocrisy here, hey kids?
