Having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/science\/california-fires-climate-change-1.7443957#:~:text=The%20fires%20that%20devastated%20neighbourhoods,happen%20due%20to%20climate%20change.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">destroyed<\/a> over 16,000 homes and claimed nearly 30 lives, the fires are an awful harbinger of our rapidly warming world, which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/science-environment-68110310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">has already breached<\/a> the so-called \u201csafe limit\u201d set by the Paris Agreement. I\u2019m only 24 years old, and I\u2019ve spent more of my life advocating for climate action than I can remember; it\u2019s always felt like an uphill battle, but now it feels different. The Trump administration is a carbon bomb that will reverberate for generations\u2014and more immediately, for my generation. Watching flames engulf entire communities while the new White House order commences, I am overcome with exhaustion. I\u2019m tired of feeling outraged and grief-stricken watching my country\u2019s leaders prop up an economy that, by its very design, mortgages my and my peers\u2019 future for their short-term gain and works for none of us in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t help but also feel angry at the Biden administration and the Democratic Party, who banked young people\u2019s futures on having Biden or Harris in the Oval Office\u2014promising us that if we got out and voted, just as we did in 2020, we\u2019d see our efforts rewarded. President Biden resisted taking the kind of sweeping and bold action to protect our futures that Trump and his sycophants are now using to systematically destroy them. Instead of actually declaring an official climate emergency (as over 2,364 jurisdictions in 40 different countries, including 18 national governments and the European Union, <a href=\"https:\/\/climateemergencydeclaration.org\/climate-emergency-declarations-cover-15-million-citizens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have done<\/a>), Biden simply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/08\/09\/biden-climate-emergency-00110486\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> he had \u201cpractically\u201d declared one. Meanwhile, Trump took a day to formally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientificamerican.com\/article\/trump-declares-energy-emergency-to-push-excess-fossil-fuel-production\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declare<\/a> a national energy emergency to expedite oil and gas drilling, furthering dependence on the deadly fossil fuels and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/live-news\/20250128-un-confirms-us-demand-to-withdrawal-from-paris-climate-deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">withdrawing<\/a> (again) the world\u2019s largest historical emitter from the Paris Agreement, with the industry-bought GOP continuing to fall in line with unabashed climate denial and delay.

We struggle to contemplate saving up to buy a home (will it be besieged by flames or get swallowed by a storm?), having long, fulfilling careers (what are we laboring toward on a burning planet?), or even having children (what quality of life would they have?). A 2021 study <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelancet.com\/journals\/lanplh\/article\/PIIS2542-5196(21)00278-3\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">published<\/a> in <em>The Lancet Planetary Health<\/em> found that 36 percent of Americans aged 16 to 25 years old are hesitant to have children because of climate change. We can\u2019t even imagine growing old. Forget 2100\u2014what will my life look like in 2050, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.noaa.gov\/news-release\/us-coastline-to-see-up-to-foot-of-sea-level-rise-by-2050\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">foot of sea level rise<\/a> submerging the US coastline?

The prospects for a more just and sustainable future may seem bleak, but we can\u2019t give up. If we do, then we have not only sealed the fate of those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/ohrlls\/news\/frontline-climate-crisis-worlds-most-vulnerable-nations-suffer-disproportionately\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">most<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/newsreleases\/epa-report-shows-disproportionate-impacts-climate-change-socially-vulnerable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vulnerable<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewtrusts.org\/en\/research-and-analysis\/articles\/2023\/05\/22\/people-whove-contributed-least-to-climate-change-are-most-affected-by-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">least responsible<\/a> for this crisis, but we have also abdicated something fundamental: our shared humanity, and our responsibility to love and care for each other and for our planet. As harms magnify, the need to scale up equitable responses that put human life and dignity first become more essential than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>That means we continue to organize, to advocate, to litigate, to protest, and to unify. We continue to get creative, to build community, to heal, and to make our movement the biggest tent\u2014helping every person find their place in the climate justice movement because it\u2019s their movement, too, no matter what ballot they cast last November. We demand a new and regenerative politics. We don\u2019t let the petro-villains win.<\/p>\n<div id=\"current-issue-block_c37c5bdd271a7c2106ea2456b73b9296\" class=\"current-issue  float-l-w-2\">\n<h4 class=\"current-issue__title\">\n                    Current Issue<br \/>\n            <\/h4>\n<p>    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/issue\/february-2025-issue\/\" class=\"current-issue__cover\"><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/cover0225.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of February 2025 Issue\"\/><br \/>\n    <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So we keep fighting for the only scientifically and morally acceptable outcome: a rapid fossil fuel phase-out, starting now.

We continue advocating for policies that welcome environmental migrants and climate refugees from the Global South, suffering the consequences of Global North greed, and acknowledge that climate-change\u2013induced displacement is already <a href=\"https:\/\/magazine.columbia.edu\/article\/americas-great-climate-migration-has-begun-heres-what-you-need-know\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">happening<\/a> within our borders.

We need protections in place from the local to global levels.<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow, like most days, I\u2019ll wake up again filled with rage and grief. But I\u2019ll also wake up resolute because I truly believe that the moment we say the future is in their hands, it is\u2014and every moment we reject that proposition, that we resist, the chasm of darkness gives way to a little more light.<\/p>\n<div id=\"article-end-\" class=\"article-end \">\n<div class=\"article-end__authors\">\n<div class=\"article-end__author\">\n<h5 class=\"article-end__author-name\">\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thenation.com\/authors\/ilana-cohen\/\">Ilana Cohen<\/a><br \/>\n                    <\/h5>\n<div class=\"article-end__author-bio\">\n<p>Ilana Cohen is a student at NYU Law and a former leader of the Fossil Fuel Divest Harvard campaign.
