Petula Dvorak’s column appeared in the September 24, 2019 Metro section of The Washington Post with the headline “Climate protesters make us stop — and think.” From Dvorak’s praise for the 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist and organizer Greta Thunberg to Dvork’s own comment – “No, I don’t want to go back to a skyline the color of Trump’s hair, which was the Los Angeles skyline of my youth,” I urge you to read it in full – and do something new today to make a difference for our planet’s youth and children. I worry about my grandchildren cooking to death. We thought what Mt. Vesuvius did to the people and dogs of Pompeii was horrible. Planet Earth had not seen anything yet when that happened, folks. It’s high time we people of the United States become global voyagers with our fellow dwellers – and not just voyeurs.
