Totally agree. I literally heard politicians in 1978, saying on radio that it was ok to pollute, because the young people would find ways to fix the damage. The first Stop Global Warming tshirt I saw was in 1971. This country has been rubbish since the 1975 CIA/UK coup.

You're being kind to our politicians to call it a blunder.

They didn't shore up the gas supply

But they also didn't shore up the tax. And let the fossil fuel companies pay next to no royalties for extracting it.

But the gas companies paid political donations to the duopoly.

I call it corruption.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.
