It probably doesn't account for all it as I think many humans get angry at society for a variety of reasons, but it might well account for some of the widespread uniform anger at government. There isn't much government can do about either of the 1st two and until a sufficient number of conservatives decide they want to take some action on climate change, there won't be anything the government can do about Mother Nature either, which I know angers people who care about the environment and climate change. Or as my son said a least a decade ago, "The Polar Bears are toast."
"In my view, this age of protest is driven, in part, by the fact that the three largest forces on the planet — globalization, Moore’s law and Mother Nature — are all in acceleration, creating an engine of disruption that is stressing strong countries and middle classes and blowing up weak ones, while superempowering individuals and transforming the nature of work, leadership and government all at once."
