2010: I finished HS and my 1st college term
2019: Fresh PhD, 4 mo. into my new role at @TheBTI.
Underlines for me that 2020s decarbonization + climate science work will be driven by people either *already* in field or *maybe* a lucky few who enter it in next ~5 yrs. (1/2)

Our bold climate youth are an inspiration, but they can only do so much. Virtually all of the heavy lifting on climate this decade will be done by those already of age today. Don't burden the next gen with your hope for climate progress in 2020s - that's largely up to us. (2/2)
(All my fierce student activism aside, I felt relegated to the sidelines for the '10s. Youths today can likely relate strongly. We'll see what my impact is in the '20s, but we must work hard on behalf of youths left desperately trying to contribute via mvmts like #ClimateStrike)
