Violet Affleck, in her recent academic paper, discussed a confrontation with her mother, Jennifer Garner, over their differing views on the climate crisis during the California wildfires. While Garner was shocked by the devastation in their neighborhood, Violet, informed by her knowledge as a climate-conscious Gen Z member, anticipated such disasters. The paper, published in Yale University's Global Health Review, aims to examine the parallels between the COVID-19 and climate crisis responses, using Violet's personal experiences during the wildfires as a backdrop to express the urgency of climate awareness.
"I was surprised at her surprise: as a lifelong Angelena and climate-literate member of generation Z, my question had not been whether the Palisades would burn but when."
"Like many other L.A. residents, her 53-year-old mother was shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised myself and my siblings."
