We have a lot of reasons for hope in the battle for human civilization to survive the crisis we have triggered in our planetary climate. Reasons for hope include available technology to produce water, create clean energy, grow food, and build affordable housing. This does not include artificial intelligence and other breakthroughs. The challenge for humanity is to move fast enough to avoid climate tipping points that will trigger uncontrollable warming of the planet. We don’t know exactly what temperatures will trigger the tipping points but scientists are increasingly alarmed by our current situation. I have read that a doom mentality is as big a problem as denial. We need to be active and focused to save future generations and potentially ourselves. Let’s vote and act to accelerate government and private industry acting to reduce carbon emissions ASAP!
