This is not age related, it's Conservative versus Liberal, the world over. Liberals are always looking for someone to blame for whatever their issue is. Conservatives are more interested in solutions that are workable. Only stupid people think that the world as we know it will come to a catastrophic end by 2030, or 2100, or pick an era. The climate is always in a state of flux and is either warming or cooling, and can only be characterized historically, -looking at the past record. The climate models have never, ever, been able to predict the past, much less the future. That's because they still do not include all the factors, like the sun's effect on the columns of air and sunspots, which are undoubtedly more important than the Earth's wobble and volcanoes, with man's activities and plastic straws dead last. Mankind only has the power to screw-up the skinny portion of surface conditions we occupy, not weather, and certainly not climate. Smog is not weather. Beijing and Los Angles are two examples of cities poorly located, in geographic situations that do not provide enough ventilation for the pollutants the large populations put into the air. Hurricanes and cyclones are weather specific to some climate zones, not climate. They begin as tropical storms that gain strength as they move over very warm waters, all of which is generated by the sun's energy heating the oceans. We can see such storms on Jupiter. Does Mankind contribute to those great cyclones, too?
Mankind is a passenger aboard the great ship, Earth. We can mess our own little zone, our own cabin, -but the ship sails on without regard.
