Re “Climate Talks End With U.S. Ceding Nothing” (front page, Dec. 16):

The Trump position on climate change will drastically affect the lives of our future generations. The dire warnings of the scientific community have gone unheeded, with a nod to the big polluters that “all will be well.”

The worst effects of this policy will occur long after the policy deciders have died, and they will not have to hear the cries of “shame” that will resonate throughout the world.

At 97 years old, how do I deal with this discouraging news?

Some of us in our retirement community get out on the street and demonstrate with youth about the climate crisis. I have become a vegetarian as an antidote to climate grief.

Doing something positive, though small, helps.
