Today, at a U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Hearing, the four climate change activists shown here testified at the meeting. They are as follows:

• Vic Barrett, 20 years old, fellow with the Alliance for Climate Education
• Benji Backer, 21 years old, president of American Conservation Coalition
• Greta Thunberg, 16 years old, Sweden, Founder of Friday Strike
• Jamie Margolin, 17 years old, Seattle, Founder of This is Zero Hour

 They testified before Republican and Democratic House members, and used their time to tell their truth about the climate crisis.  They made it very clear that they are concerned that enough is not being done to reduce carbon emissions.  Without curbing carbon emissions, the temperature of the atmosphere and the oceans will continue to rise.

 I’ve copied the section of the nearly two hour committee hearing featuring each of their testimonies.  Their testimony is approximately 20 minutes.

 There are two videos below.  The one on the left is the full two hour testimony, which includes opening remarks by some of the House Members, the testimony of the four students, followed by a question and answer session. The video on the right is the 20 minute testimony of the four students.

We must join with them. Don’t make this their last stand.
