  1. Yep, same here: past freshman year of highschool, every history and/or civics teacher basically said either "life's gonna suck for you guys" or "on behalf of the older generations, I'm so sorry we've put you through this". Feelsbad. Honestly climate change is probably gonna keep getting worse- countries will only start racing to truly (desperately) invest in nuclear and renewables once massive protests erupt... and by then, it'll be too late. If I even have children of my own, it makes me think, how much of life as I'm experiencing it now will be nothing but a distant memory in the future? Will there still be bees in the summer? Will capitalists make trillions more off the new hand-pollination industries required to keep us all from starving? Will the next generation ever know what a mild summer, or winter, is like? Will the sound of chirping birds be something they'll need a national park visit to experience? How many species of animals will they be told in school that exist? How many languages? Not to contradict the whole video, but I get the feeling that we're all sleepwalking off a cliff, and that looking back on it, we'll wonder how we ever let things get to where they are... "now" (40yrs in the future). Like a huge, irreversible loss, that leaves humanity with no lesson to learn, and leaves us all more deprived, less connected to our past-- as lesser than when we started.

  2.  @Dimitris_Half  That's fine, and a collective sense of identity is very powerful, but the focus should be specifically on stopping the largest polluters now-- that means pressuring the US and China to stop using coal and gas. Russia, India, Brazil included.
