My kids remind me of Boomer leaders.
The fact is we have to adapt, no matter what the cause. Failure to do so means significant hardship for everyone.
It is a matter of time before Boomers are aged out of the electorate. Europe is well on its way toward an alt energy future. Fossil fuel investment will soon be a collection of stranded assets. Millies are hard wired to think about solutions differently. Things will shift and they will shift soon.
For the sakes of everyone alive in 40 or 50 years, I hope you're right. We're past prevention at this point, and mitigation is always less effective and more costly. Since I'll be dead, my right to demand my way is approximately zero, so carry on.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
