What gets through? I simply don't see it. Fossil fuel drilling in the US has hit an all-time high. Domestic car sizes are only getting bigger and we're taxing or banning any small, cheap foreign EV imports. For every pipeline that gets stalled, three more are built. We don't even bother reporting on spills anymore, despite their increasing frequency. We are epically fucked and we all know it.
Give up doing what? This isn't Peter Pan. You can't bring us under 1.5C by clapping.
Yeah 1.5 is fucked. But we can still limit it under 2.0 or 2.5. Yes it is fucking horrific. But 1.5 does not mean everyone suddenly drops dead.
Also, the world isnt the US. Improvements are happening on a smaller scale. Some countries getting almost all energy through solar and wind.
Green energy becoming cheaper than fossil fuel.
Is it enough? Fuck no. But im not letting you cunts hop in with corporations and push the pedal to the metal.
Stop ignoring all the positive things happening to fix the climate. You are putting other people off helping with your doomer shit.
Unless I'm talking to a CEO of a major bank or Fortune 100 fossil fuel firm, "we" cannot.
You don't think it could have been even worse by now? I do.
Will say though, I do wish to visit the timeline where Al Gore did not concede, and was president.
