The previous generations actively sabotage effective measures. Prosecuting protesters, celebrating consumption, ridiculing the educated. My guidance counselors looked at me like I had two heads when I said I wanted to pursue a science education motivated by climate change over a "career". What career could I have if society isn't certain because of constantly shifting weather patterns, climate refugees, and the threat of resource wars? A little bit of any one of these things can throw the whole system off.
