The Boomers are still worse. They're so used to getting their Revealed Truth handed down to them by the institutional media that they will literally believe that what they're being told now is the same thing they were being told ten years ago. They trust the "experts" to be their long-term memory for them.
They also have the perfect excuse: "That just means our green policies are working!" If you pry them for details, they'll just tell you to Google it because they can't be bothered to defend their point...or they'll just ban you.
Always amazes me how the story has changed so much over the past decades and they are still taken seriously
There are a lot of people in their early twenties who are just becoming politically aware who didn't experience the goalposts moving 45 times.
That's part of the reason the extinction rebellion people are all so young.
That and it’s very cool and trendy to be an activist about climate change. Same reason you see so many young people claiming to be lgbt

Yeah, that's a big factor too. Boomers are so beyond help. Mass media has destroyed them.

I have personally seen Al Gore declare that if we didn't ban fossil fuels that Florida would be underwater by 2006.
And my dad was telling me that in the 70s global cooling was all the rage
A bit before my time but I've heard much the same.
It helps when you know the history behind why meteorology is a literally fake science.
Whenever someone blathers at me about sea level rise I send them pictures of liberty island.
1886
2023
"Well AKCHUCALLY the first picture was taken at high tide and the newer one at low tide! Checkmate, Earth-hater!!!"
You joke but I had a lady tell me that most of the sea level rise is in the Pacific ocean.
...
It's all the same ocean*, lady
* excluding density due to the pacific being a tad warmer since... forever.
