It is such a foreboding feeling to be "climate aware" (place yourself on the spectrum of climate doom / darkness) go about your day encountering so few people seem to be even modestly concerned. It really makes you question your own sense of reality; "This has got to be a simulation, like candid camera, right?"
And every time we pump, we pay the oil industry and its lobbyists to keep doing exactly what they're doing. We're the employer. We create demand. Drive less, use transit, go electric.
I really wish I could believe that some greater power out there was causing the crazy alignment of these things happening at the same time that could push us to sanity and doing what’s actually right for the world, but sadly that doesn’t seem like the case at all. You could not script a comedic drama stronger than what the last few weeks is delivered to us in the world. 😮
On the bright side, … oh, there isn’t really a bright side at the moment. It feels like we are experiencing a perfect storm of greed, ignorance, entitlement, ego-centrism, and complacency in the US. Reduce, protest, vote!
It's always amazing that we still have to say all this stuff. That people in this country will whine and complain about gas prices, not care about weather unless it affects them, and then rinse and repeat. MAGA still thinks that our president controls oil prices and the oil companies will continue the destruction of the planet while my neighbors buy giant vehicles and pray that their god will save them.
