The second level of nonsense kicks in when you assume that this means that something serious will happen about climate change, when in practice huge progress is happening now.

You insulting everyone who is old won't help climate change, it will just make people think you're a bit of a knob
You only have to go to Facebook or dailymail comments sections or look at voting patterns to say older generations being more environmentally conscious is complete horseshit. I mean how many believe climate change is actually man made? For more evidence on how you're wrong see https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tan...other-factors/

Huge progress isn't happening now, every year emissions go up, in practically every country in the world boomers are in charge.

I mean, the dialogue with boomers around climate change is pointless now, that generation has had its chance and has let down all generations that come after it. Nevermind the economic shitshow the boomers have handed my generation.
