Frankly, I can't wait wait for all the entitled-boomer-climate-change-deniers to die off. The children (everywhere) deserve better.

Ah, but do we have time to wait?

My sense is no. At some point the freedom to be an idiot clashes with our need to address a very pressing issue. So, I ask, what price are we paying for those that deny climate change, and as such have actually stopped us from doing what has to be done to combat our (man's) role in it? Is there a point where cavalier attitudes, and out right disbelief in science, becomes criminal in that it causes harm to others? To people as well as other species, to the Earth itself?

Is Trump's removal of the USA from the Paris Accord criminal?
Is the reversal of our environmental policies criminal?

Here in Hawaii, even if we have some residences that listen to make believe propaganda and deny science, deny what agencies like NASA teach us, at lease our government seems clearly able to discern reality for the make believe hocus pocus the deniers cling to. But seriously, when does the stupidity of RWR and Old Croc become more dangerous than just, as you say, some "entitled-boomer-climate-change-deniers" rattling on in some obscure internet forum?
