My kid just slammed shut a book on climate change and said “I hate everyone” and same.
@Madhattermommy I believe that children are our future, and this child is a future that I can believe in.

@Madhattermommy

Growing up I used to hate Oklahoma, still do but for political reasons, because it was then the predictable pathway for violent weather into the mid south. Tornados especially.

I feel for your son as I feel for my children and grandchildren who will experience the results of the Climate Change we have left them.

To your son I say, if I may, please get involved, stay informed and vote when you can, like your life depends on it.

@Travler I will, tysm ❤️❤️
@Madhattermommy I have the exact same feeling everyday for exactly this reason.
@Madhattermommy yeah well, “read the truth be infuriated” Is kind of a truism 🙈
@admadlad I don’t get that
@Madhattermommy impending disaster is bound to evoke some minor wrath
@Madhattermommy we need to find a way to encourage our children. It's fine to be angry, but they shouldn't feel hopeless. We can (and will) turn this around.
@dpscifi 100% agreed ❤️❤️❤️

@Madhattermommy It's shocking what we have allowed to happen, by Companies that have outright lied to us,.

@Madhattermommy please tell your child I am sorry and I’ve not used fossil fuel to get to work since Jan first and I will do my best to turn this around
@JaneETowle 🥹🥹🥹🥹 tysm 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Madhattermommy

Your kid is smart like their mother.

I just shared with my adult daughter that, while most of my fellow boomers are idiots of the first water, I am not personally responsible for the fate of the cosmos. Got a small eye roll and a chuckle.

Her enduring love saves me.
My work is done here.

@Madhattermommy He's sounding well grounded. But point out the people who do try make the world better as well, though, as we need some positive examples to help keep us from giving up on humanity entirely.
@kiwired it’s always so sobering when children start to find out the hard parts about living in this world with bad things and people we have no control over.

@Madhattermommy

Websearch some of the amazing people around the world who are fighting for life on Earth, and share their stories with him. Hopefully he'll become one of them rather than giving up!
