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.

Something in that I think.

There's also some lessons about the limits of what is achievable with political coordination, control, and activism; against the nuclear threat there was SALT and the NPT, which had some effect but did not solve the problem.
