Fonda on Climate Change: Young People Are Suffering from ‘Extinction Illness’

‘And I’ve spent a lot of time now, with these young students, and they’re scared’

RUSH EXCERPT:

FONDA: “And I’ve spent a lot of time, now, with these young students, and they’re scared, and a lot of young people are even suffering from — they’re calling it extinction illness, and I just felt it wasn’t doing enough. The scientists are saying we have ten years before it’s going to so far over the cliff that there’s no turning back. The environment and climate will unravel and there’s nothing we can do and, so, I said I’m going to — I’m famous, I have a platform, I’m going to move to D.C., I’m going to put my body on the line and I’m going to do these things in the process, I’m going to learn a lot, too, and the young people have been with me all the way, and it’s incredible what’s happened.”
