    I don’t think that’s true. At least in the US, we’ve gotten so used to compromise and small wins that we celebrate things like the growth of renewables, but most people rarely ever talk about how emissions have only risen higher. They don’t want to hear how we crossed a major tipping point this year, or that our models are starting to look overly optimistic… They want to go about their lives and not worry about it too much

    There’s no compromising with climate change, we’re still driving off the cliff. It’s okay to celebrate turning the wheel a bit, but sometimes we do need a reminder to look up and see the big picture
