15 Year Old Sues Obama for Climate Change // Uriel Cruz, Period 6

Ever since he saw an environmental documentary at the age of 6, Xiuhtezcatl Tonatiuh became a climate change activist. Now that he's 15, he's one of the 21 young activists who are joining climate scientist James Hansen in suing the Obama administration for not ditching fossil fuels.

Xiuhtezcatl and Hansen and the other 20 young activists have a good case here. If the world doesn't stop using fossil fuels, the entire planet could be in terrible danger. Ever since the Industrialization of Britain and America, the skies have been filled up with polluting clouds of waste. All of these nonrenewable resources being exploited for money for over a century and a half. These activists are trying to stop what our forefathers started, and save the world if you will. America's lack of motive in taking a step forward into a less polluted world is very upsetting. I hope this is a wake up call to America, and the rest of the world as well.

  1. It's good that he is standing up for something important that he is so passionate about at such a young age. We will just wait and see if Obama chooses to make any changes. lia k 6
