(7,309 posts)Some of us baby boomers/gen-xers ( I'm on the border) tried and failed to stop big oil and other corporations from trashing this earth. I am sorry for what we are leaving behind.

(7,309 posts)The ones who make money off of it have convinced a LOT of people it isn't human made. They have spent a LOT of money on disinformation so they could buy another mega yacht or private plane. I've resigned myself to not being here when the earth is no longer inhabitable in a few decades. Nothing has been done because of greed. Plenty of people take it seriously; I know I have tried to change my carbon and pollution footprint, but I'm just one person.
There has to be a whole attitude change and it's not just us older folks. I know a young couple in their 20's who consistently use plastic eating utensils and Styrofoam plates and cups. They know climate change is human made, they just don't care. Oh and recycle? They don't bother.

We bought into the sexy muscle car, big house and America first we saw nightly on the boob tube. The devil made us do it and too many of us voted for Reagan when we had the chance.
