Reference :- Eloquent Sky host , Rita Panahi , sees a link between climate activism and identity politics .

Reference :-  Why do we have so many climate activists ?  

That is an interesting point you make Rita.  Perhaps , as you say , climate activism is simply another manifestation of the "wokeness " inflicted upon us by the politically correct .   As an older chap , I like to consult with my son , Ken junior , on such matters .  He has a much better understanding of recent cultural phenomena such as identity politics . 

 I asked Ken junior whether he thought that climate activists are motivated by a desire to be seen as " woke ".     ( Whatever that is . ) 

 He said that he thought climate activists are  mostly motivated by the news of record droughts , fires , heart waves , floods and snowstorms . He says we are getting two " once in a hundred year "  disastrous weather events each year lately . I told Ken junior such a frequency would be unremarkable if there were 200 different types of " disastrous weather events " . 

But we can't think of more than about six. Perhaps you could tell us what the other 194 are ?

Ken junior reckons you won't be able to , but you know what teenagers are like . 

Your comrade , Ken .
