People need to be more informed about global warming. No one informed says that the climate crisis is in the future. It is now. We take the needed measures to reverse it in this decade, or we lose our civilization.
Unfortunately, humans have a limited attention span. Yes, we either deal with AGW or it deals with us, but the same could be said, on a smaller scale, for COVID. Yet here we are, pretending COVID is moving offstage at the very time it's intensifying. We've decided to mentally move on, and the same may happen to AGW ... at least for a while. That's why I consider a 4T-like 2T likely. Of course, we coudl actually do what we should, and get serious about this. I'm not a total pessimist, but the last 50 years of history has leaned toward short term greed over long term need.
I'm glad I'm old.
