In case you haven’t read this…you should. It’s an excellent resource to send to the folks you know about why you believe what you do.

We’ve had over 100 years of scientific publications since the climate disaster was first identified and instead of using our knowledge to mitigate our environmental effects, we used technology instead to more effectively drain resources. If the covid pandemic (an arguably singular problem) is any indication, we are utterly incapable of coordinating any collective societal changes, even if it pertains to our very survival. It is preposterous to even humor the idea that after more than a century of ignoring the problem we will suddenly uproot the basis of our creature comforts (and the only way the last several generations have lived) in order to tackle something the average person cannot even tangibly understand.
