Warmist Kelly Rigg thinks that if she shows leaders photos of her kids, the leaders will be convinced that trace amounts of CO2 are dangerous?

Kelly Rigg: It's Climate Change That Threatens Our Way of Life -- Not the Actions We Need to Take to Solve It

I'm thinking in particular of climate change. If we don't get to grips with this problem, the world we hand over to them is guaranteed to be a far less pleasant place than the one my generation inherited. And they know it. The youth delegations attending the annual UN climate conferences are the most passionate and outspoken -- brave, even -- of anyone there. They never fail to move me, because this is where it hits home -- like all parents, I am fiercely protective of my children and their future.

Sometimes I get to thinking. What if I were to get stuck in an elevator with President Obama? And maybe the key Congressional leaders of both parties. And no advisers. (Okay, like that's ever going to happen, but hey it's my fantasy). What would I actually say to convince them to start fighting for our children's future, rather than the profits of the fossil fuel companies? What would it take to penetrate that armor of business and politics as usual, and wake them up? I don't know; I write and rewrite that elevator speech over and over again in my head, but one thing is for certain -- I always whip out photos of my two kids to drive it home.
