Are our senior Democratic Party members able to grasp the immediacy felt by our nation's youth?

Climate Change is smack dab in the middle of young folks’ plate. They see the pace of the world’s response as a big, “it’s up to you kids, good luck.” Is their, “The house is on fire,” approach not quite understandable? Is not their “tone” iappropriate given the circumstances? Is, “You didn’t vote for me” ever a response to their worries and concerns? Was the Senior Senator from California being condescending, patronizing?
