I've come to terms with the idea that it would take close to some sort of Biblical miracle to save the climate because you'd have to get nearly everyone, unanimously backing it to get anywhere and that includes the corporations causing it.
People have to get to work, the tasks have to get done, hospitals have to run, the wheel has to keep turning. If we broke from our human nature and became a hivemind dedicated to solving the problem, we might have time to develop methods of growing food that aren't entirely dependant on the weather outside, but it's gonna happen. The glaciers are melting, the methane is releasing and it's getting faster every single day and soon, in less than 30 years, billions are going to die of starvation or war due to shortages.
The good news? The good news is that I'm 37.
