      Some old people are the ones who pioneered climate research, renewable energy, de-growth, and environmental activism!

      Without them, no-one would understand what exactly has gone wrong or what can be done about it.

      Learn to distinguish people based on their individual actions (for which they are responsible), not their involuntary characteristics (such as age).
