This has very, very little to do with the private preferences of "pre-Boomers", and absolutely fuckall to do with the anniversary of the first Earth Day. It has to do with massive corporate interests denying anthropogenic climate change for decades and now greenwashing themselves and posing as the solution to the problem.
