We live in interesting times that amaze and terrify thinking people who seek wisdom and truth. Growing threats in politics and climate are representative of continuous destructive behaviors that have been warned about. Politics in America has become awash in lies, criminality, denial, and hatred for those not in the tribe (these behaviors describe the Republican Party). We find ourselves in a climate crisis that can hit a tipping point of no return at any time. While the scientists tell us negative effects of atmospheric carbon are accelerating; many Republicans running for President in 2024 say climate crisis is a hoax. With the leading candidate on the Republican side facing dozens of felony charges you have to wonder if Americans know the difference between right and wrong, or if they care. Many say we are headed toward civil war, but our system has held together (so far) – while domestic terrorists and insurrectionists are facing accountability. Scientists and engineers are developing technologies that will help humans survive in a warmer world; provided tipping points are not triggered leading us to possibly civilization destroying levels of heat. Act, communicate, and vote to keep hope for humanity alive because time is increasingly valuable.
