Oh no, they’re not just going to let it happen. They’ll actively stop us from solving it.
Well im not having solar panels near my town. They’ll absorb all the sunlight and it’ll be dark!
Windmills slow the planet down!!!
“Sorry kid, I need my 9% returns on these investment funds, and I don’t care where that money comes from.”
Boomer: “Climate change will be your burden to suffer through”.
Gen Z: “It’s not fair. You got a full life of profligacy before the effects were even noticeable. I get none of the material wealth and I’m going to have to live my whole long life suffering increasing effects of it.”
Boomer: “Not so long.”
Humanity’s carbon footprint has been a distraction. All that money and effort (green energy legislation, carbon caps, etc) could’ve been funneled into geoengineering for proper long-term solutions.
Even if humans were eradicated, the habitability of Earth would only be prolonged a bit. So the idea that we just need to emit less carbon is just kicking the can.
Where did you hear that nonsense?

…and oligarchy, and fascism, and income inequality, and decreasing life expectancy, and increasing infant mortality, and more wars, and huge amounts of debt, and job loss, and…
Short version: unchecked capitalism.
But I was told that capitalism checks itself using something called “market forces”.
Turns out “market forces” was just the heavy metal poisoning talking, they were just hallucinating magical economics.
Lead in gasoline and household products really fucked with some generations, hard.
Yeah. Those problems totally didn’t exist before capitalism.
Not all at once, no. Fascism didn’t even exist until the 1920s.
Besides that it’s smooth sailing.
… and microplastics, and resource scarcity, and MRSA, and infrastructure collapse, and social media addiction, and …
“We didn’t start the fire…” But you guys threw a bunch of petroleum and coal and tar sands on it
