The conversation at times grew heated, especially when Feinstein dismissed the group's request due to their tone and their youth.
A young woman tells Feinstein she's "looking at the faces of the people who will be living with these consequences" of climate change.
"I've been doing this for 30 years. I know what I'm doing," Feinstein says. "You come in here and you say, 'It has to be my way or the highway.' I don't respond to that."
"I've gotten elected. I just ran," she continues. "I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality, and I know what I'm doing. So, you know, maybe people should listen a little bit."
In the video, Feinstein also asks a girl how old she is as the girl says politicians should listen to the people they represent. The girl replies that she is 16.
"Well, you didn't vote for me," the senator says. unquote.
