    Kind of.

    I mean, yes, this is good, but it’s still small potatoes compared to the fact that we need UNPRECEDENTED industry-wide EMERGENCY action, starting like 20 years ago.

    We’re in the throws of mass-extinction. We are predicting a BILLION climate refugees. And every horrible prediction is coming true way earlier than expected.

    Mass media isn’t screaming about it every night, so we trick ourselves into believing it must be a manageable situation. But it simply isn’t. We aren’t just headed for a cliff. We’ve already fallen off it. We just haven’t noticed because we haven’t started bouncing off the sharp rocks yet.
