So my water chemistry professor was lecturing us about climate change, and said

"By the way, China is set to reach its 2030 carbon reduction goals in around 4 years." Which is the first time I've heard a professor say anything about China that wasn't red scare paranoia.

A student said incredulously, "How?!?!"

The professor just shugged and said "I dunno, ask them."

I fought the urge to explain how.

Communist planning and a high value placed on educating people and the science sector babyyyyy.

A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.
