Don't pretend you care about kids, if you don't care about global warming.
The increase in fires, floods, hurricanes, and droughts caused by global warming will make it more and more difficult to live and grow food.
Republicans love to pretend that the reason why they’re banning abortion and persecuting LGBTQ is to “protect the children.”
Meanwhile they protect a pedo, cancel aid for dying children in Africa, stop childhood cancer research, eliminate school lunches, cut healthcare, and erase the laws that forced corporations to clean up their cancer-causing and planet-destroying pollution.
They don’t care that the global warming they cause will turn our planet into an inhospitable hellhole for Gen Z and Gen Alpha.
Republicans don’t give a shit about kids. Especially not other people’s kids. They only care about themselves.
I’m a boomer and I can say that my concern for the environment began when I was a kid, in Mesa Verde when I saw a person step on a great large beetle and laugh about it. I must have been about 10. Not all boomers are complete ass****s. My concern is only growing as I now have three grandchildren that I mourn for in my private moments. I am trying to instill in them a love for creatures and places
I have a 19-year-old, and this is 100% spot on. I weep for him, his generation, and the absolute lack of care that MOST Americans seem to have about the wreckage we've made of the environment. My Boomer "friends" are even worse, and say stupid sh*t like, "Oh, I have such hope for their generation, I know they'll fix it!"... b*tch, YOU started this and YOU messed it up for GenX and everyone else below us. YOU won't even recycle, let alone demand a reduction in fossil fuel usage, and/or support political candidates that will actually enact policies that stop pollution, and promote clean air, water, etc. In fact, the candidates they've voted for, and continue to vote for, are actively working to undo the EPA and climate change policy in general. So yeah. What the hell does my kid have to hope for, or look forward to? NOT ONE THING.
