I am ashamed that some teenagers will be ahead of those of us who already have an age, and we have also been responsible for "blackening" the future of these generations. What's going on?

As the author of the article says, these fifteen years old who are criticized for being all day doing selfies have taken the lead and go out into the streets demanding that adults do our job; they skipping classes for a commendable reason: curb climate change. In our time —if you were not in a closed centre— we skipped classes to go to the billiards or to the park to smoke some cigarettes that we had swiped from our old man.
I am embarrassed, but they cause me admiration because they demonstrate a courage and a maturity that they had been denied. Perhaps they have seen sooner the serious consequences that drag some activities and many omissions. Actions and omissions merrily practiced by the power holders who handle the market.
How is it possible that there are still some leaders who deny the existence of climate change? Do they really believe it? Simply they interpret the role that best suits them: producing, selling, earning money.
To these well-to-do people, if the truth be told, they give a toss about the climate, the nature and the Caribbean flamingo even. These sonuvabitchs just are thinking in making a lot of money and the rest don´t care two hoots. Gravy train.
