"We've spent the last forty or fifty years "talking about the issues" and DOING next to bugger all about them."

You seem to underestimate the active conviction and call for immediate change from young folks..

- 50 years younger than us...

They are the generation who will inherit the dire consequences of their elders inactivity, or outright denial of impending doom...

They are the effective instruments of real positive change;
who are coming of age and will soon occupy positions of responsibility and power..
Hopefully before it's too late...!!!
