> > me: puts down phone crosses legs why did u melt the ice caps > I'm a young adult You're certainly young, but are you an adult? Adults treat one another respectfully and kindly, not vituperatively. > But I am the one who will have to come of age in a world of rising sea levels and global temperatures, at least partially created by that firm's wilful deception[2]. I avoid animal products in meals for the same reason. But in trying to tell my parents this, they seem to believe I am disingenuous, or they don't take the issues as seriously as I do. No, they don't take those issues seriously, because they are wiser than you and know that you are making mountains out of molehills. Twenty years from now the sea will be just fine, life on Earth will be just fine, and you'll be saying to your folks, 'gosh, I'm sorry I was such a boor.' Don't worry — most of us go through the same thing. Lord knows that I did too.
