Picture: Christof Stache/AFP“We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic. We can't afford any more consequences of climate denial,” he wrote in his tweet.

“All of us, especially young people, have to demand better of our government at every level and vote this fall.” We've seen all too terribly the consequences of those who denied warnings of a pandemic.
