    This is such a shit take. You brought people into this world, you owe them, not the other way around.

    The good life is the bare minimum a parent should provide their child.

      My parents provided me with a good life. And they used the things that causes global warming to do so, as do you while posting the internet.

      They brought me to school when it rained with their car. Bought a color tv, vcr and Nintendo to keep me entertained. We went on holidays during summer with the car or a plane. We went to see car races, went karting. We did boat trips. And I enjoyed every bit of it.

      Everyone blaming that generation for global warming. While their survival chances were uplifted times 100 because of hygiene. Clean clothes, warm houses, safe and dry traveling. Electronicss for learning. 1/3 of the people complaining about them causing global warming wouldn’t even survived or be here to complain about it if that generation didn’t use the tools at their disposal.

      Everyone thinking that generation caused it and they themselves did not benefit from it are just hypocrites.

      That said, we should try and minimize global warming.

        Nobody’s blaming previous generations for causing climate change before it became widely known that it was a problem. We blame them (or the ones a majority of them elected, to be precise) for fighting tooth and nail to avoid doing anything once it became clear how big of a problem it is.
