Comments on: US Youth Reject Official US Climate Position as Dangerously Out of Touch http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/12/02/us-youth-reject-official-us-climate-position-as-dangerously-out-of-touch/ Dispatches from the Youth Climate Movement Wed, 08 Feb 2012 06:09:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: briannacc http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/12/02/us-youth-reject-official-us-climate-position-as-dangerously-out-of-touch/#comment-69536 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 09:25:49 +0000 http://itsgettinghotinhere.wordpress.com/?p=7375#comment-69536 Thanks for reading. I hope you’ll keep reading as the whole youth delegation is blogging regularly and laying out lots of more detailed different policy perspectives. In summary, we are demanding bold, binding, and just climate policy both domestically and internationally that is in line with what science says we need.

In more specific terms we expect the US to get its act together at home and globally.
Within the US we need to immediately move towards 100% clean energy (and emphatically rejecting dirty dangerous energy sources like nuclear and coal that industry is promoting as a false solution), capping and immediately reducing emissions, and creating millions of good, green jobs.

Globally, we need to be a positive force in dealing with this global problem. We have done way more than our fair share in accelerating this problem and must act accordingly now.

Gotta get back to the negotiations. Cheers! Brianna

What are these youths proposing instead? This communication tells us of the writers’ emotions, but there is no communication of what they want. I believe they would be far more effective at getting what they (we) want if they would tell us what that is.
