The average daily global sea surface temperature beat a 2016 record this week, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus.

It reached 20.96C. That’s far above the average for this time of year.

    Everything that you mention here as driving forces of climate change are more the fault of the ruling class at that time than boomers as a generation. What wealth everyday boomers had was more than what we had today, however the ultra-wealthy had significantly more ability to drive policy decisions than most boomers put together and they made the calls that structured the world with the climate-destroying system it has.

    Also the ruling elites are the ones who took that generational wealth from this generation by their decisions as rulers. I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to blame boomers for what has happened to the planet.

    Your rage is reasonable. We are living on the verge of a planet spiraling into chaos. I would just encourage you to place the blame where it really lies: ultra-wealthy ruling elites who are and have been running the planet into the ground while stealing all our time and money.
