And just a week ago I was talking to these boomers that were explaining me how "we should all stop being so attached to climate fear" and that "everything will just sort itself out and we'll live just fine".

Yea, no shit boomer

They meant that they'll live just fine. You see, they will be dead before climate change decimates our planet. 🤷‍♂️

Looks less likely every year, they're running out of time quick

It won't decimate the planet, but it will make the planet a lot less habitable for humans.

So yes depending on where they live they will be just fine, but a lot of people will die. Because of this there will be huge migrations and struggels with having enough resources...

but it will make the planet a lot less habitable for humans.

And, unfortunately, for a wide range of other species.

And that is already happening in a small scale. All those natural disasters that are happening all over the world. And especially the poorer country's on the south half of the globe are struggling with stuff like wood fires, smaller harvests because of the heat. And it's all just going to get worse. I hate humanity.

Boomers: "We had hot days in the 60's and 70's as well and you didn't hear us complain"

My parents' go-to is that everyone was freaking out about an incoming ice age in the 60s (they weren't), and thus climate experts are all completely clueless and have no clue what they're talking about.

And they wonder why I visit less than before.
