Slowing down the phenomenon will also benefit the US in addition to everywhere else, but it seems even my (Millennial) generation & the Xers I know don't seem to care enough about it to push industry to change. Do we just think we won't be around to see whatever the outcome will be? (Xers will be 70+/'twilight years' in 2050, Millennials 50+/'leaving prime age', etc) Millennials are in the 'raising kids/family' phase and likely just don't have the time to pursue a lot of protesting for something far down the pike when we have plenty on our plate now that is troublesome.
I'm confident this will pick up when millennials enter midlife. At present, I think the main problem is just that it's the younger two generations who are more interested in climate change, and the older two only more moderately so.
