Spot on kid....pity they took absolutely no notice of what you said. Paid her platitudes, clapped her, looked all attentive whilst she spoke but they paid scant real concern for anything she said.
Nothing will change, so long as people keep wanting to go on like they have and remain apathetic to everything that happens around them. Even when someone with a lot more clout and a lot older than her gets up and tries to do something, bring things to attention and stir things up, they get treated like a loony or ignored. If they turn out to be a serious threat to the "powers that be" they either get sidelined, spied upon, arrested and in some case assassinated (or quietly gotten rid of, whichever is the most expedient).
Nothing is going to change...politicians are only paying lip service to all the concerns being aired about climate change etc. Make like they're doing something, talk a lot, but in the final analysis nothing is being done. They're more worried about their economies (i.e. how much money their big business mates are making)...that if they keep going in the same fashion they are now they're not going to have an economy, because they won't have a viable planet to live on to have that economy.
Then they'll wonder what went all wrong and start blaming everything and everyone, except themselves, for the disaster they got themselves into. But they'll know precisely what went wrong, they just won't admit it to themselves or anyone else.
And quiet frankly, I wouldn't blame those generations yet to come if they grabbed these people, lined them up against a wall and shot the lot them. Quite frankly I wouldn't blame the youngsters today if they did the same thing, because it's going to be them that first suffer the consequences of what's happening today. Even some of us oldies who aren't so old, are going to get caught up in all this and it'll be our own fault for not putting our feet down on the throats of these politicians and businesses and making them do the right thing.
