Letter: Young people are taking the lead

President Trump has again tweeted about Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old climate change activist. This time the tweet came after Greta was chosen as Time magazine’s Person of the Year.

Trump tweeted, “So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!”

Unlike Trump, I support Greta. I also support the nearly 2,000 young people who on April 29, 2017, marched to the governor’s residence to submit the Utah Climate Resolution. This resolution was written by Utah high school students. The resolution acknowledges the role of fossil fuels in climate change and encourages the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
