Voters aren't though, still voting for the politcans with their polices and heads stuck in last century.

Nearly everything we're doing is wrong, so I dont expect that to change much. The presumption is our human entitlement subsumes the laws of nature and whioke we can fool ourselves and each other for a time, you cannot fool nature.

Aside from the selfishness and outright delusion, I think there is also a level of cope going on in older generations. These are people who are mentally incapable of handling the scale of the challenge. Watching them "work" on the problem of climate change is like watching a uni student who has an overdue assignment bargain with themself over the daily late penalties. Each penalty is so small, it doesn't feel like a big deal to submit it 1 day late or 2 days late. Before they know it, they're at 7 days late and in danger of failing the entire assignment.

We're past tipping points, folks. It's time to imagine which dystopia you want to sign up for.
