A little theory I'm working on

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 used to have terrible nightmares about nuclear war, mostly thanks to reading apocalyptic novels. I have thought this for a long time, but I'm not sure where the lower cut-off is for caring. My teenage cousins don't seem to be bothered in the slightest about climate change, for instance.
