I really enjoyed this goofy meme from the solarpunk memes community 🥹
You're viewing a single thread.
But climate change is the first existencial crisis humanity has faced!!
Besides WW2...
And nuclear proliferation...
And the hole in the ozone...
And Industrial revolution pollution...
And overpopulation...
And leaded gasoline...
I think this one will be harder. Confronting it requires completely changing our ways of life, and massively scaling back which is something monied interests REALLY do not wanna do, but we can still overcome.
It will be hard. And I wanna fight to do it anyway god damnit.
Correct!
I don't know if necessarily harder than the others but none of them were easy
Still you may be right on that point, too
We keep fighting regardless. Only one way to find out how tall that mountain is- we make it to the top and look back down at how far we've come
Have a good day my friend!
I know the hole in the ozone later specifically was solved by a unified concerted effort to address the problem that caused it. I didn't know the details, but I assume leaded gasoline was the same.
I am not presently seeing that kind of deliberate unity on climate change.
The hole is 8.5 million miles^2.
I wouldn't consider that "solved".I will consider the hole to be solved when it is closed—which will be decades still.
I'll consider "consistent effective progress along a long recovery route" close enough to "solved" for this particular conversation.
We saw a problem, took action, and the situation has improved since we took action.
