The irony is that boomers have been alive long enough to remember how different the climate used to be. They’ll remark how it never snows as much as it used to, or how there are more storms, fires, droughts, etc. Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.
Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.
If they accept climate change, it means they have to acknowledge that their actions helped cause this and it means they need to change their behavior. People aren’t good at either but most Boomers especially suck at self-reflection.
“Generation Me” is chock full of narcissists. And the one thing narcissists are never going to do is consider that they are the root of the very problems at hand.
Which isn’t true either. They are not fully responsible. I can’t blame them for believing that personal co2 foot print nonsense. The oil industry poured billions into that campaign
They are not fully responsible.
My exact words were “Helped cause this”. At no point did I hold them solely responsible.
I can’t blame them for believing that personal co2 foot print nonsense.
You say that like Boomers don’t own and hold management positions in companies that pollute. Also, corporations being the main polluters doesn’t absolve individuals of guilt when they make bad decisions.
they voted for the policies that enabled it all and didn’t challenge their governments. If you’re a white boomer that isn’t in poverty, you ain’t on my innocent card
They fell for the lies they wanted to hear because they propped up their ability to have it all. Fuck 'em.
