All teens ever do is play Fortnite, post Instagram selfies, and kickstart the revolution.

The ecosystems on which all life depends are collapsing and it’s all thanks to narcissistic iPhone obsessed teens with nothing better to do than scroll through Kim Kardashian’s Instagram or spark millions into global protests for emergency climate action.

16-year old Swedish teenager and Nobel Peace prize nominee Greta Thunberg inspired 1.4 million young people to go on strike in March, has given multiple blistering speeches to the world’s most powerful governing bodies, launched a global rewilding campaign, helped fuel a campaign of mass civil disobedience in the UK, and on Friday, sparked 4 million teens and their allies to strike around the world.

One teenager has done more for climate action in a year than all Western politicians have done combined for the last 20.

But if we don’t get these teenagers off their bloody iPhones then the future of the planet will be imperiled.
