As a result of their excessive individualism and selfish disregard for the interests of posterity, the Boomers did nothing but make climate change worse. The data were there, and the science was clear, and yet, they did nothing. The planet is now ablaze. It’s their fault.
That is the millennial position, and it is true as far as it goes. The fact of the matter, however, is that America is a much greener country than it was before the Boomers. The real accelerant of climate change was the rise of China, which was done on the back of mountains of fossil fuels. How could that have been stopped? There just wasn’t any way.
Are you persuaded?
