Having climate change experts is great but flocking to careers around climate change is not the solution. We need people in power who want to change. Fact of the matter is that there are still far too many climate denying anti-scientist career politicians, most of whom are boomers, in office. It's these people we need to drive out. We need the right people to kick out the career politicians that have done nothing to fight climate change. Both Democrats and Republicans. Both Labour and Conservatives.
It is insane that the democrats, the so-called "centre-left", have yet to take any action around climate change. It's either "manchin this manchin that" or "republicans this republicans that". While here in the UK we have the likes of Boris who can increase taxes on the rich to pay for the pandemic, and instead puts it on the working class and the poor, while Labour can only stand by and complain that they're not in power (before any Labour supporter say anything, they'll probably make just as little progress if they were in power).
We need the young to take these offices. We need climate change champions as our Prime Ministers and as our Presidents. Not as yet another scientist that will practically be ignored by politicians.
