Oh? And what has changed so far? Because I've been holding onto hope my whole life and nothing. has. changed....
what's more dangerous? Apathy or fraud? Because your thinking is just fraud.
Plenty of things have changed, as with everything, it's gradual.
Obviously we need a big bang in how the world works but that's not gonna happen anytime soon.
Most CO2 emissions are growing less fast than they used to, renewables are on the rise, electrification is rising as well, nuclear power is also on the rise both on generation and new construction.
People have slowly realised that there is actually something wrong with the climate in the last decades.
It's very slow, too slow and it's gonna get tough but we're getting there.
I'm not sure to understand how me thinking, that action and progress, as slow as they are, is a fraud.

We're not getting anywhere. You're being spoon-fed greenwashed nonsense.
Every major country's highest CO2 emitting years are in the past. Renewable energy is far cheaper than most fossil fuels. Renewables will become the majority energy supplier for the planet next year. We won't stop at 1.5C, but that was just a milestone for a climate agreement. We're no longer looking at >4C, and we're closing in on avoiding >3C.
Don't get me wrong, shit's going to get tough, but we're not doomed, not yet.
That's just not true.

Energy generation is about to experience a renewable tipping point, so our source of energy has changed a bit! It's something :-). I've stopped hoping that people will change, now I'm just waiting for the "fuck you got mine" generation to die and leave us alone. The outcome is the same, but I'm less bothered by it all.
