    When the apocalypse is hanging above your head, you tend to appreciate life while it lasts.

    Also, music was better.

      That’s why that entire generation did fuck all for climate change! The ol’ I was raised this way and turned out fine!

        And climate change will be the reason the rest of you will do fuck all about every other problem.

        There’a a whole generation of people who see climate change as a threat on par with nuclear war, and hence can justify any level of action or focus necessary so long as it’s related to climate change.
