Oh, I think the young do have the wisdom and the skills. They have the wisdom to face a crisis head on, and they have the good sense to listen to the scientists. The young are already much more capable than the adults both morally and intellectually.
In fact, I am calling for sane and caring adults (I’m convinced there are more than a billion of them) to remove the catastrophic failures—the “leaders” of the world—and put young climate activists in charge everywhere.
These young people will put climate scientists in charge of a program bigger than the Manhattan Project and Apollo combined, a program to stabilize the Earth’s climate.
An EMERGENCY program, one that any sane person would have implemented 30 years ago.
