Back when I was 6, in 1983, my uncle who worked in the oil industry told me about global warming.
I could totally have been a real radical environmentalist, but I was 6.
A second time around that talk would have an impact, and with some foresight for the next 40 years. I think no one would be surprised if I devoted everything to fixing global warming - they might be surprised at my success in the stock market.
Sure. When did you first hear about it, and that it was caused by burning fossil fuels?
I was born in the eighties, and I'm sure I've known about it all my life.
