DREW WILLIS FOR TIME FOR KIDS
Leading climate activists gathered at the United Nations (U.N.) Youth Climate Summit, in New York City, on September 21. Of about one thousand attendees, 42 were under the age of 18. They were invited to the summit after being nominated by their school or organization. “It’s so amazing, the work that these young people are doing on the ground,” U.N. envoy on youth Jayathma Wickramanayake told TIME for Kids.
Here, the TFK team speaks to nine of the teen climate activists who attended the summit. Learn what motivates them, how they deal with setbacks, and what they are doing to make a difference in their communities and around the world.

The couple was on hand to promote Junior’s new book “Triggered,” which clearly stole its title from the 8,000 Netflix specials about comedians who are mad about pronouns. Just super original stuff. But before we begin, I really want to set the table with this anecdote from last month’s The Atlantic piece that actually tried to suggest that Junior is some sort of burgeoning “kingmaker” in the Republican Party. (He’s not.) The excerpt is from the beginning of his relationship with Guilfoyle and how his father reacted slash made everything super gross.

CELEBRATE THE DEATH OF THIS INSANE REIGN OF DONALD TRUMP and his hideous minions. Celebrate the demise of the careers of William Barr, Mike Pence, scum like Paul Ryan, Keven Nunez, sycophants like Stephen Miller and crackheads like Kellyanne Conway, scum like Sara Huckabee, SCUM for real. Trump likes to call decorated heroes who were wounded in service to America and love of this country HUMAN SCUM? IMPEACH THIS MORON. PLEASE GOD. LET IT BE.HAPPY GHOST DAY!!!!! less

He is definitely worse than Barr and Giuliani, but he is smart. He is too smart for TRUMP and TRUMP will blow this. MARK MY WORDS. He cannot get along with Bannon. And Bannon will not be able to reign Trump in. We all know this. He is smart though and he will gum up the works in progress, that is for sure. Will he stay out of jail? I doubt it. I highly doubt it. His ego is bigger than his brain.
