    “5 billion strong” is currently a bit dated.

    The message she speaks is (was) very true, but… but…

    These kids should be going to school and having a childhood, not doing a grown-up’s job. Not even if that job is telling grown-ups to grow up and take responsibility.

    I just wish those bastards like Inhofe, Bast, Singer, Michaels, Baliunas, Soon, Robinson, ellsaesser, Balling, Christy, Lindzen, Spencer, Milloy, Evans, Carter, Plimer, Beck, Idso(s), Legates, Ebell, microWatts, all the other denialists and their obnoxious trolls would have the decency to listen to her.

    Fat chance!

    To catch up on Severn Cullis-Suzuki’s life since her presentation at the Rio conference in 1992:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severn_Cullis-Suzuki

    She is now in the graduate program in Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria (Victoria, BC, Canada). She received her M. Sc last year.

    From the UVic website:
    “Severn is studying the use of Tsatsayem– eelgrass (Zostera marina L.), by Kwakwaka’wakw peoples around Vancouver Island. She works primarily with Dr. Nancy Turner at the School of Environmental Studies and Chief Adam Dick, Kwaxsistala, of the Dzawada7enuxw of Kingcome Inlet. Among many other fascinating eelgrass aspects, Severn is investigating how this marine angiosperm figured into the year’s traditional round of food harvesting, how this clonally reproducing plant was affected by the harvesting techniques of the First Nations, and how the observations of the land by today’s elders can inform our biological evaluation of the health of our current ecosystems.”
