Hey there fossil fuel company CEOs and the politicians who side with you,
Boy do I have some questions for you. I know you all are about making money, being able to buy your fancy cars and massive mansions. I mean, hey, it’s a pretty nice lifestyle you’ve got going for yourselves. But I don’t understand how you can continue doing what you do, when you know the immense amount of damage you are causing. Do you not turn on the news and see that sea levels are rising and that because of this, people are losing their homes? Have you never stepped outside your doors and realized the weather is drastically different than it was five years ago? What about the oil spills and pipeline bursts — did those just not happen? Are you not saddened by the families whose water is so polluted they became hospitalized? Please explain to me how you can just ignore these happenings.
What use is all of this money and material goods if you can’t even drink your water or breathe the air? Because of you and the agendas you support, our planet is dying and you're all expediting this process. Climate change is not a conspiracy theory — it is a fact. Climate change is real, it’s happening and it’s bad. You can’t deny that the actions you take not only contribute to this process, but actually make it worse. You're literally poisoning not only the environment, but everyone on this planet. You're driving people from their homes and making whole islands disappear. You're killing off species after species we share this planet with. Your children and their children after them may never see some of the iconic animals we all grew up with, because you killed them off. They may never know about the rainforest or see some of the beautiful landscapes we have because with the way things have been going, you'll have destroyed them.
I truthfully don’t understand what you really have to gain from continuing to live the way you do. Do you not live on this planet like the rest of us? Do you not drink from the same water sources and breathe the same air? What do you have to gain from destroying all of these resources and the beauty we have here? More importantly, what gives you the right? Why do you think your few voices matter more than the cries of pain from the billions of others we share our planet with? Earth is not just a big shopping mall you can continue to take and take from and expect to always be restocked to full capacity the next day. You must care for it and respect it, otherwise nothing will be left for anyone. You're not above the rest of us. You are citizens of this earth just as we all are. I wish you had to look into the eyes and hear the cries of every person who's been harmed by your choices, for they are the real victims.
There is still time for you to correct your mistakes and help fix this beautiful planet we have destroyed. But the time is now because there may not be a tomorrow.
