Time Really is Running Out
Stay Angry
Also note that Obama urges youth to push leaders on climate, and to Stay Angry.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama returned to the international spotlight Monday in Glasgow, urging young people to pressure their leaders to do more to combat climate change.
Agreeing with youth campaigners, Obama said “time is really running out.”
“You are right to be frustrated,” he said. “Folks in my generation have not done enough to deal with a potentially cataclysmic problem that you now stand to inherit.”
Obama told U.N. delegates that he found it “particularly discouraging” to see the leaders of China and Russia skip the Glasgow talks.

The annual summit has drawn world leaders and executives from the business world for 12 days of discussions on climate change. But it’s also drawn roughly 400 private jets to the region, Scotland’s Sunday Mail reported.
A spokesperson for Bezos Earth Fund, his philanthropic endeavor focused on climate change, told Insider in a statement that “Bezos uses sustainable aviation fuel, and offsets all carbon emissions from his flights.”
