The Museum of Natural History in New York is a regular excursion for Jody Neal and her two kids. Teaching her children about the environment and how global warming is affecting it, is important to Jody, but she also doesn’t want to alarm them. Awareness about climate change is growing thanks mainly to younger people who have been marching around the world to draw attention to the issue. Schools and the media have been discussing it more, too.
Climate crisis activist Emma Lim started a movement called #NoFutureNoChildren prompting teens to say they won’t have kids until the government acts for climate change. NBC News’ Katie Englehart talks to 18-year-old Lim who started the pledge.
