What an arrogant statement. When old and young disagree on a political issue, you assume the old are wrong? Why? Is there some fact they don't know? Have they not thought through all the correct chains of causation, whereas you have? Of course not. They might turn out to be right. You can't assume you're right just because all your peers agree with you and the outsider group is wrong because that's not the group you belong to.
I know a child who's afraid of climate change. Not in a political way but afraid of drowning in high sea water or her house being destroyed by the weather or something like that. Her grandmother reassured her that it's all blown out of proportion and people will manage to cope just fine. Who's right - old or young? Don't pretend you know the answer because you don't. Nobody does.
Or maybe I'm completely right and you're just making ad hominem attacks because you can't deal with the fact that there are people who rightfully fear that the basic underpinnings of life are being threatened? Can i ask how old you are? Because in my experience, age correlates strongly with a tendency to look inward towards oneself rather than outwards towards the problems in the world.
You seem threatened by pessimism. I see it as a tool.
