Well, of course, they've taught their children their shitty views and so on and so forth. I can't even mic up with randos on a game without them hurling slurs in my direction.

'Boomers' as a term originated as, and is actually specific to American Baby Boomers.

The generation that lived through the most anomalous economic boom in US history, assumed that was actually normal, and consistently voted as a general block to ensure (among many other stupid things) that the climate would be destroyed for their grandchildren, children, and deliciously ironically, even themselves as they are now all set to retire....

... all when they had a disproportional amount of actual wealth, social power, thus ability to avert this, thus collective general responsibility for not doing so.

That is how any history books not written by Boomers will summarize this.

I didn't say a word about boomers, I was replying to a post about the industrial revolution and 200 years ago.

But to get back to my point, in 1993 the cumulative emissions were 861 billion tons and in 2023 it was 1770 billion tons. So almost perfectly doubled in 30 years.

Hi shit for brains. I was replying to a comment about the industrial revolution beginning 200 years ago. I wasn't making a comment on gen z or baby boomers. I was pointing out that the people alive today are the ones responsible for climate change - not the people who lived over a hundred years ago. Bless you, I hope you have a great day.
