Its bad, I get it. But lets go back to 1968 when baby boomers who would give birth to the millennial generation was born. Vietnam, political assassinations , race riots, anarchist bombings. Throw in watergate and stagflation. The world has always been burning.

The difference is climate change. The better you understand it, the less likely you are to want to have children.

No, climate change was not a concern for them back then.

Climate change was known and covered up by oil companies since the 1930s.

Cool, super irrelevant to the greater point though. It was not known to the people, so the people had hope.
