Yeah. But AFAIK climate caused earthquakes, no, let's say caused by anthropogenic climate change, are more a consideration of potentially happening in the future. So they can't blame anthropogenic climate change yet.
What I don't like about the "last Generation" is their almost religious narrations.
Well, and thats pretty much all about it. You might easily dismiss them as a doomsday cult, but the annoying thing is: They are still in the realm of science. Also, "We all gonna die" is a tautology, but how we are dying might not be the same. And worst of all, what we really have is our own 1968 generation conflict moment.
FIrst of all: We are already affected. Thats a bloody fact. People already die because of it. If we have increasing numbers of heat related deaths in the summer because of longer and stronger heatwaves here, its not because younger Germans overheat faster than the previous generations or simply explained by demographics. We are plainly working on making a very comfortable climate less bearable.
Of course, we could for now simply focus on adapting. More ACs, less work outdoors, have a break in the noon, change our settlements to adapt to worse flooding events... but that all would still require us to have a completely different style of living. If you think our Autobahn construction sites are working slow, imagine how slow they will be if they can't work during the summer after 12:00 and need to include nightshifts then, which have their own risks to work safety. If you think BEVs will be a strain to the local power grid, imagine people requiring ACs in the summer. And not the ICE grade weak ACs that can only handle 10°C difference. Most apartment blocks in our cities are far to old and adapting them to the inevitable +1.5°C world will already be hard. And now imagine the changes coming at +2.0C: It will be exhausting. Even just modernizing them to allow using district cooling in the summer will be expensive as hell.
And who is going to pay it then? Not the generations that profited from the pollution. I'll turn 45 this year. I am already in the first generation, that had only experienced economic hardships, which my parents never had. We never had a Wirtschaftswunder or similar good phases to build up our own wealth. And we are going to pay for it all. We are slipping into the next major crisis in our generation. All those billionaires, investors and such... they are all living on CO2 money. They are all existing because they had been able to externalize their costs to future generations. And its not just our generations. It will also be the generations in China or India, too, that our rich elites currently like use as distraction from their own theft."As long as China keeps on polluting, I can keep my money". It will be the younger generations in Africa and South America as well. And if the shit hits the fan, these generations will make all those pay, who got their wealth from the "climate sins" of their biologic or financial ancestors. And they are right about it. But first of all, populist movements controlled by billionaires will exploit this sentiment to concentrate more wealth in their pockets. Things will get really ugly until there is nothing left to rescue. People warn about the next big war starting in China. They are likely right. But they will likely never understand, that the unsustainability of our economic system is the catalyst there.
I can really understand all the younger generations to be way more upset about this than I already am, and I follow this for almost 30 years now. I can understand them to expect way more from our politicians and economic leaders than this kind of freak show we see here - hell, even people of my generation are among the clowns. And worst of all: If all the older generations here doesn't stop stealing their wealth and power from the younger generations, what else should happen, than people breaking the laws that are protecting injustice? They would be stupid to respect them. If I want to prevent, that my children inherit a huge heap of debts by their parents, I need to fix this economic injustice now. And not tell my children, that they deserved it and they should enjoy the freedom that increasingly less people have, while they are forced to do, what is needed to mitigate or live with the problems that I didn't fix.
