[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a factor for people, I have heard more than one parent say they are worried for the world their adult children and grandchildren will have to have. Not so much that it will be hotter, but that there could be widespread migrants, war, food/water insecurity and a breakdown in the rule of law due to climate change.[/quote]

+1.  I feel terrible for the kids I have.  I can't imagine that they will grow old happily.  I look at the old people in pictures of refugees and think that will probably be America in another 50-150 years.  Maybe they'll manage to eek by before it gets awful, but probably not my grandchildren.  It's so sad.[/quote]

You need a stronger SSRI. Seriously, I'm not being an asshole.[/quote]

Not PP. You are probably right because it's not healthy to spend day-to-day in as much anguish as PP describes. But, many of you on this thread need a serious reality check. What do you think is going to happen to magically reverse the trends we are seeing? Do you just not believe they are happening because you don't see it personally in your town? The worlds getting warmer and the weather more extreme. There will be food shortages. People from less developed countries will suffer terribly and there will be more refugees. Sea levels will rise and the US landscape will change dramatically.

DCUM children are some of the most privileged children to have ever lived, compared across history and the current state of the world. Our children will likely survive another couple of generations. But quality of life will decline even for them before the world becomes truly inbearable.[/quote]
