Consequence: Now's the Time for Us to Lead

There is no doubt that green jobs are the future. There is no dispute that global warming is real, and that if we fail to act the consequences will be dire. President Obama declared "Now is the time for us to lead" on climate change.

Now is also the time for our generation to lead on climate change. Youth must lead because we have the most to lose. If progress is blocked by old political forces and special interests, we will be the ones facing the consequences.

When are the nay sayers going to realize science over superstition, and realize this isn't their grandparents world. Change is NOT scary! It's good. Furthermore, do they realize how far back they are setting America whilst they spew ignorance from their mouths? We're currently not a world leader! How much further must we fall behind before it sinks in?!? I truly believe that it's up to my generation to push for change. Look where the generation before mine has gotten us . . . Climate Change=FACT

Lies...

New Science has shown that CO2 has little to nothing to do with climate change. The natural warming trends ended 9 years ago.
