Plus all those idiots who protest outside parliament can only truly have a claim if they have no car at all and use no gas or electricity.

To use your analogy we've put the clock in to extreme fast forward over the past 100 years and the seconds are whizzing past. We've pumped millions of tons of warming accelerants into the atmosphere that wouldn't ever be there in the normal order of things even taking into account natural disasters.
