Climate scientists have failed to meet their social responsibilities: to clearly, fully, and accurately inform society about the GHG crisis.

In this open letter I urge concerned parents to assist their children’s  environmental activism by providing mature strategic guidance.

I am a 71-year-old thinker who sees his own death on the horizon.  I therefore want to confess my greatest sin: when analyzing the ecological crisis I have committed thoughtcrimes.  Specifically, I have used facts,  logic, and an independent mind when I should have trusted the IPCC, the Guardian, and the other representatives of the Party and Big Brother.  As George Orwell might have said in 1984, I am an environmental thought-criminal.

Young people, you have been brutally betrayed.  Since the 1970s the  international community has repeatedly vowed to keep GHG concentrations  within safe limits and to protect the environment for future  generations.  But concentrations are now at catastrophic levels and the  environment is rapidly collapsing.
