I doubt there is a boomer who wasn't touched by those times, fathers and grandfathers either did or didn't make it home but you seem to think one generation holds control of the system while they have been controlled by it as well, your blame is misdirected if we realise half the carbon has been emitted in the last 30 years. We have a monetary system where not many people realise all money is bank debt and how many younger people are refusing money? How many younger people have shown the way by consuming 90% less, than they did ten years ago? Saying one generation is all the same and the blame for all things, while no=one else does anything different is handy but self deceptive imo.

5% of the world know what is going to happen environmentally, some think they want green energy and that will work instead of changing, to really get halfway to Paris agreements requires massive change and nobody is doing it willingly. The only way is no other choice but poverty is a measure of how much debt we hold. Food, shelter and medical is what all people need, it is the easiest to accomplish, if profit and the concept of it was taken out of future goals.

Really doesn't matter what their gdp is now, it is all about what they started from, moving from agrarian to cities happens easier when the rest of the world sends them money and they have a trade surplus. China did not do this in a vacuum and at the cost of production elsewhere, people in the rest of the world lost jobs so China could have what it does, we are in this together.

@alecdurbaville6355 Yes, that is what a prediction is, predict what will happen based on information they have. They know unimaginable change is coming, they know at what temperature it will take to melt the permafrost, something that holds four times the carbon humanity has emitted in all of history. and they know the adaption that took millions of years happening in a couple of thousand of years means a lot of species will not survive. If people took the reality of what is coming seriously, they would stop work en masse tomorrow and demand their govts cease all unnecessary consumption, if people won't do this by choice then the only tool available is poverty.

@alecdurbaville6355 That's what a pre-diction is. Poverty is really the only tool. DT will bring that so that's a good thing

@alecdurbaville6355 They know the change coming is what took 65 million years, temperature wise, will take a couple of thousand.
