But saying we can't do anything about it is still denial that we should. I think our action now and in the coming years determines if millions or billions of people die. So there's a lot riding on what action we take, even though it might seem hopeless.
Oh yeah. Absolutely. It’d be amazing if the powers that be got their arse in gear and actually did shit. I’ll keep walking everywhere, reusing plastic bags, and not travelling like I’ve always done, but it won’t save the planet.
We need extreme fees on carbon emissions, and all the nuclear, solar, hydroelectric, and wind power we can get, and we need them twenty-thirty years ago.
