Remember back when climate scientists discovered the ozone layer was thinning and the world banded together and worked to repair the damage we’d done?
I’d like to live in that reality again.
That was a CFC problem. We now have a DJT problem.
Yes but he's a symptom, not the cause. His 2016 victory was not a fluke.
Yeah, i grow up learning about ozone layer hole and acid rain in school, then enter the 21st century and that talk has largely gone. Now i wish the same thing can be done to the climate change, looks like it might lose some steam.
Now we can't even band together against a pandemic disease that is obviously killing people right in front of us (as opposed to the less visible to the average person ozone hole), and we sure as hell won't be able to move against climate change in any uniformed way before its much too late (as we can already see).
