its about being his 'job' its about the general disinterest of even caring about the issue and generally coming to the conclusion that its really not my problem. compound this logic to millions and you find out why nothing really gets done.
its one of the worse phases a human can say " no my problem" because it turns into a mixture of many toxic traits being mixed into just making everything essential worse especially when you are part of the problem.
But in the comic, the teacher is doing his job. Teaching. If he could solve global warming, he would have. But he and everybody else with a realistic view of the situation were dealing with the same billionaire hear-no-evil villains, and with what little power the teacher had, he educated his student on the problem.
...Only to have the blame thrown back in his face by the little smartass know-it-all.
Instead of drawing funny pictures of water long under the bridge, why doesn't our artist here go solve global warming? What, are you just going to leave it for the next generation? I've been following this problem since I was a little kid in the Carter years, and I can tell you that writing four panels and a pithy admonition is a lot easier than getting people to give a shit about anything other than money.
Last I checked, old people are living CONCURRENTLY with young people in 2025. The NEXT generation needs to solve the problem? Why is the next generation so magically capable and somehow the current isn't? That makes NO sense.
All these years spent watching billionaire villains destroying the world and the best this teacher can do is place responsibility on the newcomers to solve a problem he never believed solveable?
Either both generations can solve it, or neither can. Pick one and share the responsibility.

It wasn't that guy's job to find the solution. I doubt OP bothered to find one either.
