A little theory I'm working on

[sesquipedality]

I theorise that people born after 1980 are (on average) massively more worried about climate change than those born before. I further theorise that this is directly correlated to the fact that those of us older than this were far more scared of nuclear Armageddon than environmental Armageddon in our formative years.

Born after 1980 but Nuclear Armageddon is still more terrifying to me than Climate change. Maybe because it's out of my control so I worry about it more and perhaps due to it's sudden impact but lingering problems... while with climate change there are (theoretically) things that can be done and we can all (again theoretically) do our part and there's no sudden death by incineration or lingering radiation sickness.
