Youth\u2019s Turn

Dear humans of 2021. We were wrong. We believed that by focusing solely on the future of their children, we could persuade adults to take immediate action on the climate crisis. However, nearly two years of warnings from us have done nothing to change your shortsighted complacency and disregard for your children or the descendants who rely on you for leadership.

Nothing has changed up here in the 2050s, which tells us we have been unsuccessful in our efforts to stop what is coming. While we still believe the only way to fix the devastated world we live in is by building humanity\u2019s collective character in the 2020s, we may have been wrong on whom we hoped would lead the fight.

While there will be positive movements from all over the world that will lead to long-term solutions, you will fall short on two important issues.

One, your terminology is incorrect. The mission should not be to achieve sustainability. Unfortunately, just as mitigation has given way to adaptation, the concept of sustainability will be overshadowed by threats of ecological instability as feedback loops accelerate and dwindling biodiversity shuts down the self-regulating system that created, and maintained the climate and biochemical conditions that allow life to exist on Earth.

The second, and more pressing issue is how you react when you awaken and realize the truth. The initial destabilization threats will be insignificant in comparison to the reactions of the people, which will bring the world to its knees. Your economies and environment will no longer bend, and your reactions to your current mindset will result in the broken world from which these messages are sent.

It\u2019s time we turn our attention to the youth. We realize now that they are the ones ready to do the work and take action on the climate crisis.
