Hey, happy Earth Day! Who wants to talk about climate change?
Yeah, okay, fair, I kinda figured the answer to that would be "ugh do we have to?" What if I told you I have good news though? Good news with caveats, but still good news.
What if I told you that since the Paris Agreement in 2015, we've avoided a whole degree celsius of global warming by 2100, or maybe more?
Current projections are 2.7C, which is way better than the 3-5C (with a median of 3.7C) we were expecting in 2015. It's not where we want to be - 1.5C - but it is big, noticeable progress!
And it's not like we either hit 1.5C and avoid all the big scary consequences or fail to hit 1.5C and get all of them - every tenth of a degree of warming we avoid is going to prevent more severe problems like extreme weather, sea level rise, etc.
This means that climate change mitigation efforts are having a noticeable impact! This means a dramatically better, safer future - and if we keep pushing, we could lower the amount of global warming we end up with even further. This is huge progress, and we need to celebrate it, even though the fight isn't over.
It's working. Keep going.
LOVE magdalena bay. like genuine affection. listened to mercurial world for the first time today and itβs so excellent, so far beyond what most pop artists are putting out these days. itβs so refreshing to see an artist with a sort of antitheatrical speaking persona, who prioritizes the album over the individual track, and is asking engaging original artistic question with pop music- to know that itβs still possible in the digital age, especially as commentary ON the digital age, is just such a relief. genuinely makes me believe that pop art/βart-popβ is not dead
