And just a week ago I was talking to these boomers that were explaining me how "we should all stop being so attached to climate fear" and that "everything will just sort itself out and we'll live just fine".

Yea, no shit boomer

Boomers: "We had hot days in the 60's and 70's as well and you didn't hear us complain"

My parents' go-to is that everyone was freaking out about an incoming ice age in the 60s (they weren't), and thus climate experts are all completely clueless and have no clue what they're talking about.

And they wonder why I visit less than before.

They meant that they'll live just fine. You see, they will be dead before climate change decimates our planet. 🤷‍♂️

It won't decimate the planet, but it will make the planet a lot less habitable for humans.

So yes depending on where they live they will be just fine, but a lot of people will die. Because of this there will be huge migrations and struggels with having enough resources...
