I’m writing to express my support for the millions of students from around the world, and the thousand students in Utah who, on Sept. 20, joined in protest to demand “an end to the age of fossil fuels.”
I also appreciate the nearly 2,000 people who, on April 29, 2017, marched to the governor’s residence to submit the Utah Climate Resolution written by Utah high school students. This resolution acknowledged the role of fossil fuels in climate change and encourages the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. After some revisions to the resolution, it was approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Herbert.
These students will inherit the world we leave them, and they don’t want to live with the rising sea level and other problems that climate scientists have warned about. According to a Washington Post poll, more than 7 in 10 teenagers and young adults say climate change will cause a moderate or great deal of harm to people in their generation.
