Dr Henri Waisman, at the IDDRI policy research institute in France, said: “Climate change is not a black or white question and every tenth of a degree matters a lot, especially when you look at the socioeconomic impacts. This means it is still useful to continue the fight.”
and while I agree with the sentiment, we really aren’t “fighting” are we, quite the opposite. Every thing we’re doing is wrong, how do we know this ? CO2ppm is still increasing, fossil fuel use increased in 2023, planes are still droning overhead, cars still driving, more roads being built and winded, the Antarctic is being stripped of krill to make pet food etc
Mobility is a thing that mostly exists for the wealthy, as far as I can tell. And with the policies that generally exist down south? Fuck em, they’ll sort it out themselves. I live a thousand feet above sea level, they can figure it out themselves.
So again, my empathy goes to the people who can’t move, not the people who won’t move.
