"The North Atlantic just completely destroyed its June average temperature record, breaking the previous record by more than 0.4 °C (0.7 °F).
A stunningly sharp excess for such a large body of water."
People give a shit, and we are moving towards a solution. You just have to see it through all the doomerism that’s so popular on the internet.
The problem is that you need to have pragmatism, and you need context. I remember in the United States when “energy independence!” Seemed like an impossible far off goal. We guzzled down oil like mad and everyone was scared of it. We had peak oil. It was a meme that everyone talked about but never seemed to get fixed.
Then, quite silently, the change happened. Between 2012 and 2015 our efforts in research and technological advancements created fracking and revolutionized American energy generation.
These programs get solved. It’s just hard to get things moving and it takes years for investments to pay off. More energy than ever is green. And literally fucking Texas is one of the biggest green energy centers.
Have hope. Keep advocating for good policy, but know that at the end of the day we will succeed.
