Climate apocalypse distress among the young isn't a new phenomena. Nuclear apocalypse produced a very similar mass psychology. Perhaps the phenomena even predates nuclear weapons. I wonder for how long the young have felt the world will end in 20-30 years.

I don't think it is constant. It obviously fluctuates, but current climate ennui isn't unprecedented. Nuclear war remains as much of a threat but few now experience ennui over it.
