The truth is that the vested interests that create the pollution and economic framework that is making climate change the catastrophe that it is will not do anything meaningful to disrupt their interests.
I simply can not take this bullshit seriously…
If 2018 was a lost year where the woke left & alt right dominated debate, 2019 could be the year of reactionary entropy.
I’d like to be optimistic, but there’s just no actual reason to be anything other than pessimistic about the damaged horizon looming like a fractured mirror in front of us.
