Many of my followers here are seniors, like me (I’m almost 71), or are at least middle-aged. Most of us are angry and probably grief-stricken about what capitalist industry is doing to the biosphere.
But what must it feel like to be a young person in your teens or in your twenties and be looking at a future of near-certain disaster, the collapse of society, the destruction of everything you hold dear? I can't imagine the pain.
Here’s an article that highlights the problem while also suggesting solutions:

Of course, the best solution of ALL would be for the world to turn away from capitalism, eliminate billionaires, and pivot decisively toward degrowth and climate justice.
