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.

in the 90s global warming was one among a number of environmental issues in the public mind, now it's the only issue
I was born 1984, feels like I was between two slightly worse “apocalypse” anxieties, Cold War for people born 70s and climate change now. My era was “only” acid rain, rare species extinction and deforestation of the rain forest.
