    It’s wild to me, old enough to remember the thick clouds of yellow smog that used to blanket Los Angeles and acid rain dissolving historical buildings and statues, to see how far we’ve advanced in reigning in air pollution. I can kind of understand the struggle that older generations have in updating their ideas about what is and is not acceptable. All the more reason to have age restrictions on politicians to try to make advancement possible at the speeds required to save the species from climate change.

      I haven’t thought about how having young politicians increase the overall speed of progress, not only due to the difference in ideas from one generation to the next but also from a purely logistics viewpoint.
