Bummer: Climate realists probably won't all be dead anytime soon

Death isn’t an option: climate change activists aren’t waiting for deniers to die | Rooted

Crikey asked some of Australia’s most influential young environmentalists whether they were just waiting for older timer climate deniers to die. 

Death is too far away, says Ellen Sandell, the national director of the Australian Youth Climate Coalition (AYCC). “Unfortunately, we don’t have that long to wait, all the science is saying that we have a narrow opportunity in which to act. Action needs to happen before they die because the longer we wait the harder it gets to make a difference.”

But she admits it is frustrating. “It is irresponsible and disheartening to see older people not thinking of the future,” Sandell told Crikey.
