Unless of course they vote or provide material support for the same. Then I'd say they are exactly the problem.
And in the reality we face now with climate change, they will always be with us, right to the end.
Just like many of things I see people here arguing about. From equality issues to education. Those things can change but only if we have a stable government and society to embrace & enforce those changes.
Our rapidly shifting climate not only affects the things we want to change, but the changes made before we were born.
Without stability, there will be no enforcement.

Our children's future, our good intentions and the good works of every historical figure we admire and that brought us to this point are about to be flushed away. All for the sake of a privileged few and the ignorant underlings who shovel as much money into them as they can.
