"Fed Up Young Climate Activists: ‘Adults Aren’t Listening’"

"WASHINGTON — The climate change generation is saying officials are talking too much, listening too little and acting even less. And they are fed up.

“Instead of talking about how to solve the climate crisis, they negotiate about how to continue polluting,” said Mitzy Violeta, a 23-year old indigenous activist from Mexico. “Youth movements are realizing the solution isn’t going to be in international gatherings,” like the one taking place in Egypt.

“We’re upset with the inaction that’s being done,” said Jasmine Wynn, 18, of the environmental group Treeage."
