We've known about global warming since the 1970s, when you were in your 20s. This situation is due to you, and your generation's inaction over the past 50 years.
I'm happy you can shrug it off as an "I'll be gone by the time this is an issue" problem, but I hope none of your descendants ever see this comment.
- School-Cotton 5y agoPeople in their 20s now are fucking this up just as badly as they were in the 1970s. It's everyone's fault.
- kennywinker 5y agoIt'll be a long time before people who are in their 20s now have the kind of power that the boomers had and continue to have. Both in terms of personal wealth and consumption choices, in terms of political power (the average age in the senate is currently 64), and corporate power (the average CEO is 58). You can only hold people accountable for the things that they could have done. For someone in their early 70s that's about 26 times voting for federal representatives. For someone in their early 20s that's about 2 times. To say those two groups bear any kind of equal responsibility is just wrong.
