They enjoyed the golden years after WW2 where the economy was booming, decent pension starting at reasonable age, nobody cared about the environment, people lived like there's no tomorrow.

Now the coming generations can deal with the fallout.

It's a bit unfair what you said and probably you know it - next generations can blame so many things on us today... it's just like history or life works.

Yes I do, and I'm aware the vast majority of them were blissfully unaware, but then again I've talked to enough of them to also hsve learned that many of them simply don't want any of that to be true today. Some form of denial I guess. Like simply claiming the greenhouse effect isn't real, or protesting new wind turbine or high voltage power lines, because they would see them from their big houses with big gardens they were able to easily afford a few decades ago. Or protesting the new city district on a farmer's land because they like to ride their electric bikes along the fields - never mind even families with double income struggle to afford decent apartments nowadays, let alone a dedicated house.

Seriously, we have frequent protests against a new city district here, and you exclusively see college students who know jack shit about life and old folks around there.

Wait until you're old and they'll complain that you didn't do enough for XYZ.

We have all the possible available knowledge at our disposal today, right now, and look at how much crap we still do.
