"The Climate Generation looks like Atlas Sarrafoğlu, a boyish 16-year-old with
a shy smile, Nike high tops, and a cardboard sign of accusation: “Your
mistakes, our future.” He has it resting next to him by a park bench in
Istanbul along the banks of the Bosporus, where growing up he played soccer and
listened to rap music.
The sign, in some ways, is the easiest of his protests in his
authoritarian-leaning country. Earlier this year, the teen filed a lawsuit
against the Turkish government demanding it fulfill the commitment it made,
along with most of the world, to lower the amount of heat-trapping gases it
sends into the atmosphere.
Maybe a court action, he hoped, would make the grown-ups pay attention. He knew
other young people had tried that in their countries. "
