[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about the future.  Climate chaos happening now.  Severe droughts and heat in the West, stronger and more frequent hurricanes, rising sea levels, lakes drying up, altered weather patterns.  It's all already happening.  It's so frustrating, because it would have been relatively easy to deal with it in the 1970s and 1980s, when people already knew about it.  But we didn't, mostly as a result of a concerted, intentional campaign to cast doubt, and now we have to deal with all this.  We can still act, but every day we delay means more temperature rise baked in and more costly solutions.  [/quote]
People are acting now. They are at the white house protesting. We should all be down there. [/quote]

They aren't acting in a meaningful way though.  Even during the pandemic, carbon emissions were still above the annual decrease we need.  There's no way Americans will refrain from using their airconditioning, central heating, stop flying, use public transport, etc.  Hell, they wouldn't even wear masks which was a comparatively minor inconvenience.  I think I actually need to sit back and think about the future in a different way.  Maybe our pension funds won't even be around in 40 years.  Makes me upset for my kids.[/quote]

I’m a mild prepper (bought my toilet paper in mid- February last year). I’m currently looking at property in the northern part of the country - for my kids and their kids. I think living where we currently do will be difficult/unenjoyable most of the year.

Government won’t get us to where we need to be but, ironically, I think big business may. [/quote]
