[@la_belle_heaulmiere]

The jokes aren’t about you though. It’s about the large statistical portion of the over 65s who either don’t believe or don’t care… a portion that is also over represented in positions of power. People under 65 also have deniers, but a quarter is easier to deal with than half. He could have also tried to mobilized more young people to run for government and actually vote, which younger people statistically fail to do in higher numbers contributing to this problem. Another big issue that could resolve the imbalance of power and the government not reflecting the actual demographics of the country is to make sure everyone has equal voting access. Impoverished people and POC of all age groups are more likely to suffer from climate change problems, so they tend to care more… but if they can’t vote…

I feel this in my soul. You're not alone. I had to have dental work after I got my second vaccine shot. I'm in the great, by which I mean awful, state of Missouri and I'm surrounded by idiots. Just before the dental nurse took a look in my mouth she decided that was a good time to tell me she's a Trump supporter. What do you do? Get up and walk out? And go where? Only 37% of this county is vaccinated. That number has risen 2% in 4 months. So climate change? Ha. Not bloody likely. These people aren't going to believe in climate change until they've got beach front property. And then, they'll likely praise Trump when they can sell it for a nice paycheck and enter retirement.

That, combined with a lot of young people not running for office because they don't feel like they'll make a difference, has left us with an above average Senatorial chamber.

One, I'm sorely disappointed in my fellow boomers that they seem to be just fine with passing a HUGE mess along to the younger generation.

I'm 68 and my heart breaks every day for what mankind is doing to this planet, and I do all I personally can to keep my carbon footprint as small as possible. Second, I looked into vegan diets for pets. You can switch dogs to vegan, but cats need meat protein of some kind. Maybe insects will be the ticket. But we can't just sit back and wait for our governments to do the right thing. We have to take personal responsibility and push our legislators very hard.

Now I have lorikeets, who demand I buy the freshest food for them & then waste most of it lol so basically the complete opposite of the chickens! Do you have broilers? We had them at school, but I don't know anyone who's ever had them as backyard chickens. We had a duck as well as a kid, they're interesting! I loved her too, but my parents weren't so keen on her, seeing her beak as a "shovel" that would scoop up MASSES of food & then put out just tiny little eggs lol

The middle-aged audience laughing at young people being concerned is just sad.

Because young people are brainwashed and don't know the whole thing is a scam.
