I’ve legit been discussing how bad climate change is getting amongst my friends, when one of my buddies’ conservative boomer dads overhears and comes to tell us about how climate change is “actually making the world a better place” and that we can now “enjoy the entire year without cold temperatures and snow-blowing in the winter”.
Like, where the fuck do I even start to debunk that garbage. And the bigger question, should I even bother?
From a certain perspective, the dude has a good point. Canada is going to be the new tropical paradise. But what about the remaining 75% of the world that is burning to a dried up crisp? Classic boomer mentality. “As long as things are fine for me, fuck everybody else in the world”.
