Watching an Attenborough thing with the p's tonight.
My old man is a conservative (staunchly votes libs nats he's a doc, man of science).. was basically about climate / ecological collapse, shit is grim (and it didn't hit the sides).
"Bottom, you should get the word out, your generation needs to do this'.
Pointed out he'd been voting for cunts bringing coal into parliament..
It. did. not. end. well.
I am just going to leave the room next time a bit more quietly with less colourful language when these issues come up.
I could hear your dad's statement in that exact Kew grandpa voice. I would also advise quietly leaving next time...
I've stopped worrying about climate change, or at least stopped arguing.
When stuff needs to happen for national security reasons the government will force change, and when too much money is lost to disaster payouts insurance companies will force change.
It might not happen soon enough but it will happen.
