Tom Brokaw called the generation that brought us through the Great Depression and World War II "The Greatest Generation."
I have often worried that they spawned the worst generation. Let's hope their great grandchildren don't become the last generation.
That sounds a bit apocalyptic until you read the New York Times account of how close we came to gaining control over the looming disaster of cataclysmic climate change: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/08/01/magazine/climate-change-losing-earth.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=story-heading&module=photo-spot-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news
The generation that failed to act was arguably my generation.
