Certainly, but the way forward is to come up with convincing arguments and better solutions to the problems at hand. Blaming boomers is not effective. My point is that if you or I were born 30+ years earlier, we would be behaving (statistically) exactly the same way. So the blame game is pointless, in the end people are people.
- gonzo41 6y agoYou're right, people are people. The blame game makes perfect sense. :P
- 4636760295 6y agoPeople have been making great arguments for decades, but that hasn't worked. There hasn't been any substantial change. In fact, Trump has been gutting environmental laws, rolling back emissions rules, and castrating agencies like the EPA. The time has passed to sit idle. Seriously, people need to get mad and start taking real action, because congress is not doing anything about it.
- austincheney 6y agoReal action? What specific climate fixing action would you recommend people take? I suspect eliminating electricity and transportation would have the greatest impact, although that is not realistic.
- anonymoushn 6y agoA big way to eliminate transportation is to legalize the construction of housing and the operation of businesses in and near cities, then allow people who commute for an hour or two to move so they don't have to commute. This is impossible, because we (boomers) have decided that it's important for our society for local governments (boomers) and sometimes residents (boomers) to have veto power over housing construction and the ability to delay business openings by years.
