Pretty understandable to throw away the past and make it anew. Unfortunately unless you understand that the exercise is just that: exercise, and that there is nothing truly new under the sun you misplace your importance and priorities. Learn from other peoples mistakes and don't fix what isn't broken. If these two precepts were persistent there would be constant advancement.

As far as your concepts go on C02 and inherited guilt..grow up.

Are you suggesting only children and youth care about the environment? If true, that's terrible!

(Edit: A downvote doesn't explain what I've misunderstood.)

'If true that's terrible!' Why don't you research what you believe and get to the bottom of the issue(s)? Why don't you at least look at what the economic factors involved imply contra the 'objective' science and take a look at how the pendulum swings. Yes, there is climate change, yes we are involved. But this type of emotional outcry based on taught thought is stupid.
