Those ones were right. We are solving it now, and we either finish solving it or our children will have to deal with resource depletion when their time to shine comes.

Either way, it's not Global Warming that they will be solving.

Class war is the only war that will get us out of this.

And simply blaming older people also hides the problem of global inequality and exploitation of the third world. Most elderly in my country only faced food insecurity and hyperinflation when younger, and their environmental impact for all the time they're alive is smaller than the environmental impact of a current teenager in the usa.

Too much extra money and not enough beach houses to spend it all!

High gasoline prices.

99% probability: Cold war/communism

Protesting a lot at age 20, then becoming a square.

The 2001 game Arcanum (a steam punk fanatsy hybrid) had that perspective. You had a world based in late Victorian industrialization and you had elves and dwarves and stuff... but those same dwarves and elves had VERY different views on technology. This is because they live for centuries while humans just decades. They make it clear that the two longer living races often approach technology (elves hate it btw, dwarves like it but are cautious) with caution specifically because they can see the effects of their shit from a hundred years from now while humans simply cannot.

I believe it's more a cultural thing. In a lot of places, people think in terms of a community, not individuals, and will plan things for the longer terms. But in american culture, people are much more selfish and short-sighted. Problem is that they have been shoving their culture in the entire world, and it makes it look like this is the default for all of humanity.

Not under capitalism. The wealthiest will do just fine in climate collapse and they're planning for it. They don't care about anything beyond the next fiscal quarter in terms of environment.
