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.

I remember being extremely worried about being nuked particularly in around '84 or so. The BBC showed Threads on the TV just about the time I went for an interview at Sheffield to do Microbiology and then came home and saw the BBC bombing the city!

That's not to say I'm not concerned about climate change but it doesn't leave me shit scared.
