The big thing is the climate crisis probably won't be solved until Millenials hit their late 80s.
I've talked to my grandparents and my parents and to them the hole in the O-zone seemed insurmountable. It felt like it would never be fixed and that it was already too late.
With global warming it's going to be the same, probably, when we first learned about it, the challenge seemed truly impossible. But here we are, already seeing results.
These are not issues that can be fixed with one switch or with one grand solution.
They take decades of research, hard work, and sheer fucking will to overcome. And if there is one thing humanity has proven again and again, it's that we are amazingly stubborn about not dying.
