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.

See the problem I have with that sort of thinking is that *we* didn't consciously do anything. Nor would the younger generation have done any different with our upbringing and environment. Blame is pointless. Dealing with the situation less so.
