    GenXer here. What drives me nuts is that climate change was taught to me as scientific fact in year 9, back in the early 80s.

    The science was clear but collectively every government said “well, I’ll be dead by then so why should we care now”.

      Millennial checking in. School system pivoted to Acid Rain and deforestation as the main environmental we would face. Oh, and El Nino, seems like that was happening every year of my life as a kid.
