To solve climate change, we need two fundamental beliefs:
This graph proves that we can take meaningful action. That proof is essential to our success.
I don’t understand the people who insist that while there is an urgent problem, we have never done anything to address it, we’re currently doing nothing to address, and we will never do anything to address it.
What is the point of that belief?
Perhaps the certainty of failure is more comforting than the vulnerability of working towards a success that isn’t guaranteed.
I don’t understand the mentality going towards accelerationism.
It’s like it’s somehow marginally better, or even more exciting, to see their home explode instantly in a ball of fire than to see it slowly catch fire in different rooms as the fire department gets held up in gridlock.
Playing devil's advocate, I can kind of see the theory.
People will happily get slow boiled, like a lobster in a pot.
But if an explosion happens right in front of their face, it gets them to pay attention (and maybe react before they’re fully boiled).
It’s just the culture.
All my older relatives, all highly educated and secular/scientific, got like this watching Fox News. Any mention of climate change in a documentary or something triggers some really crude, dismissive joke because that’s the pattern.
