    By the power invested in me by, well, nobody whatsoever, can I just take a minute to say, let’s all cool down a little in the comments!

    There’s a lot of arguing against:

    • The idea that acknowledging the tragic reality of climate change makes you defeatist
    • The idea that because we have had some great advantages in green tech we can sit back and let climate change fix itself

    I don’t see anyone making those arguments here though! Just lots of people concerned about climate change with different skews of how positive/negative we should feel.

    Personally, I swing between powerful optimism and waking in terror at 3:00am for the future we’re hurtling towards. I’m sure other people are the same, so let’s just be friendly to the fact that other people are in different vibes to us.

    There are some people working together very well right now to dismantle the climate, so let’s all remember that when we’re talking with each other.

    Peace and love!
