Two quibbles. First, climate change is only one aspect or symptom of overshoot. I recommend the Human Nature Odyssey podcast series talking about the book Ishmael--for that matter, read the book. We have much better odds of success if we understand WHY we're in this predicament.
Secondly the idea that older people want to cling to the status quo while younger ones are ready to deal with the realities doesn't square with my experience--I'll be 70 in December and I'd say most of my friends understand all this and embrace degrowth--although we are old hippies who went back to the land when we saw all this coming 50 years ago, and our kids made fun of us. Finally in the last ten years environmental circles include a lot of younger people--for a long time it was all greyhairs, at least here in WV

I hope to unite North America and stop climate change. I’m already at N°7.
