The irony is that boomers have been alive long enough to remember how different the climate used to be. They'll remark how it never snows as much as it used to, or how there are more storms, fires, droughts, etc. Yet they refuse to see that climate change is what is causing this change.
It's not that climate change is causing this change of climate. The change of climate is climate change. That's why it's ridiculous for someone to say "Oh, the climate's changing. But it isn't climate change!"
Oh no, it must be those pesky democrats and their secret government weather control /s. Trying to convince people to believe in climate change so they can... checks notes... promote self-sufficiency through renewable energy...
What's causing it is primarily greenhouse gasses along with several other compounding factors (deforestation, concrete and asphalt coverage, melting ice caps, etc.).
So yes, human-induced. No one would run a gas-powered lawnmower indoors, but somehow they believe that billions of people driving outside every day is totally fine?
