If this is the way we are entering a first turning, leaving this crisis unsolved, what does a first turning mean anymore?
No, the 4T is just ramping up, and it's the time to initiate a new way of life, as it has always been. The time is now. Not the next 2T, or the 1T, but now. The new Manchin-Schumer bill must be passed, and it's a start, but it won't be enough. Coal planets are still open. We need to move fast on the needs we can already meet with the tools we already have, so that we have time to fix those things we haven't yet solved. It will take new attitudes and a new politics.
"The impacts of the Climate Crisis are terrifyingly large, but also exhilarating", says Wallace-Wells. It reminds me of JFK's inaugural speech. "I do not shrink from this responsibility, I welcome it!" he said in the time of the Cold War and its nuclear threat (which we also have again now too).
The climate crisis is too vast and complicated to solve with a silver bullet, says author David Wallace-Wells. What we need is a shift in how we live. Follow along as he lays out some of the dramatic actions we could take to build a livable, prosperous world in the age of global warming.
