climate change is priority #1
2021-Jul-04, Sunday 10:53 amMy priorities remain unchanged since 2019. I believe that 2021 has moved many more people into alignment with the same priorities. It's an increasingly popular opinion that we're sick of the failed action and that there is no moderate position on climate change any more. Do you think I'm still fringe in this idea? As evidence in my favor, even Scientific American is publicly stating so.
In just a few months of this year, we have already seen:
I'm on the verge of declaring myself solarpunk as well.

This situation is not fine. Stop obstructing (by vote, by money, by voice, by habits) the painful and expensive changes necessary to avert catastrophic climate change. We're beyond the point where any of us can afford these pointless delays. Stop arguing; stop cherry picking strategies. Do everything to change. Do it now.
Journalism should reflect what science says: the climate emergency is here.

In just a few months of this year, we have already seen:
- Exxon lobbyist caught on video discussing the undermining of climate response.
- Failed power grid in Texas.
- Sinking buildings in Florida.
- Oil fire in the Gulf waters.
- Reservoirs running dry.
- Record-breaking global temperatures.
- Hundreds of deaths due to those high temperatures, just in the pacific northwest region, just in 1 heatwave event.
- A town burst into flame and was evacuated during that heatwave.
- Heat destroying infrastructure, like streets buckling and insulation melting, and even glass shattering.

In Solarpunk we’ve pulled back just in time... We’re no longer overlords. We’re caretakers. We’re gardeners.
