I want you to meet my protege, Delaney.

Hello Delany! I've heard so much about you. Have a seat.

Delany Reynolds, 16-year-old budding scientist. Somebody who found out about climate change and sea level rise, and she's really engaged and she's really interested. And she wants to tell other kids about it. Is it true?

I've heard that you were a student of climate change.

Yes, that is true.

That's very impressive at your age.

I go into classrooms and community centers and I speak to anyone that's going to listen about the problem. This graph shows predictions for sea level rise, and I show them real science from IPCC reports, Union of Concerned Scientists, NASA, and they get it—a message of hope, a message of solutions.

And the surprising thing was, it came from a kid.

Today, I'm going to talk to you guys about my passion, which is global warming and sea level rise. So it seems like that's the trend with the youth movement. It's like more and more people accepting what's happening.

We have to come together and decide whether we want to sink or swim. Is there going to be a Miami when she grows up? Is she going to be able to raise her family here? Is she going to be able to live here?

What if Miami can't be saved?

Will you leave if that does happen?

Then we're either going to have to get out or build up.

But I actually have hope that that won't happen. We will be able to solve this problem. I think we have to solve this problem.

16 years old and so filled with promise and potential and hope. Have we given you hope?

Yes, finally, I found some hope.

We talked about hope. Can we do this?

And we came to the conclusion that, yeah, we can. We just need to get kids on board and we need to get our political leaders on board.
