    Parents naturally have children. Children that will very much be alive to experience the “find out” part. I am incapable of comprehending how shortsighted and self centered someone has to be to be like: Well, at least I had a nice life, good luck everybody!

    And on a low level, they’re kind of right because most ordinary people aren’t to blame for this, so shaming “parents” makes no sense.

    Shame the international petroleum conglomerates, plastic producers, shipping, etc. You know, the actual emitters in the billions of gigatons.

    I agree that ordinary people are only partly to blame and that we need to focus on the worst offenders. However, the indifference of large parts of previous generations surely enabled much of the current situation. Most of our parents could vote, most had a chance to drive a tiny bit of change in some kind of way. Some even held positions of power or still do. Putting some blame on them surely isn’t wrong, especially if they still don’t care.
