There are markers fairly well defined for when the Crisis ends.  I would expect a vaccine or effective treatment or something to come out to kill the perceived Coronavirus threat.  I expect a few big treaties to close the barn door after the horses have left on strengthening the World Health Organization and the global warming response.

Shortly after that you might get subtle signs of a mood shift.  There will be no more immediate threats.  There will be an intolerance for the anti science ideological false realities that Fox News and the Republicans have been using to perpetuate their lies.  When those things come, you would be in the High.

Until the AGW issue is addressed in some way, the 1T can't really take hold.  The same can be said for inequality.  So there needs to be a sea change, and I'm not expecting one, frankly.

It's wise to lower expectations, but remember that I predict progress for the 2020s. That means the issues would be addressed, if not entirely solved. Climate change action this decade will only bring major results decades later.
