Photos reveal melted lampposts, power line poles split in half and charred homes in the Texas Panhandle as the state battles its second-largest wildfire in state history.
Exactly. So people have a chance to get real information on this topic. Too many people get information from journalistic sources. Modern journalism is concerned with advertising dollars not dissemination of accurate information.
On your second point, I don’t think any expert on the subject has ever claimed that recycling and electric cars will fix 100% of the issue. People unfortunately like simple solutions though so when they hear that you should recycle, they think that will fix the problem. Fixing climate change and the environmental damage we have done is not something that can be fixed with one action. Is recycling good? Absolutely, especially recycling metals. Are electric cars better? Sure. Even better? Use a bike or a train. Should billionaires fly less? 100%. None of those come close to solving the climate problem on their own.
You are correct that we are passed the point where we can avoid major environmental and economic damage. We hit the 1.5°C mark last year and this year is not looking better. Our job now is to minimize the damage.
I don’t think we should give up and make it worse. I do think we should try to make it last as long as we can. I’m not gonna run out and buy a big truck just to hurry things along.
Realistically, humanity will die eventually no matter what we do. Everything dies. Unfortunately, to remove our dependency on all of the various things that are bad for the environment would require trillions of dollars in investments that will never return a “profit,” and near 100% worldwide support. Humanity cannot agree on anything as a whole.
Lies I hear:
I’m sorry if that ruins your day, but maybe you need to wake up.

Thanks, this is a nice presentation of the facts with good diagrams.
Please feel free to provide quotes from the report.
The best parts are the diagrams.
Also, getting info from snippets and headlines must die.
So, what about this googled pdf provided you with the opinion that reversing climate change was within our grasp? Quotes would help.
I wrote no statement either agreeing or disagreeing with your assertions.
You just felt like posting a link?
