Talking to my niece about her school's 'green team' made me realize something
She said they're focusing on 'adaptation' because the adults keep failing at 'prevention', which hit different coming from a 10-year-old. Has anyone else heard kids framing it that bluntly?

Kids are seeing the world we're handing them with clear eyes. It's heartbreaking but also shows how sharp they are.

But honestly evah40, sometimes that "clear eyes" thing is just kids repeating scary headlines they don't really get. My niece is terrified of climate change but can't explain it past "the world is melting," which she heard online. It's less about sharpness and more about absorbing adult anxiety without the full picture.
