    How about climate change? 20 years ago there was hope. You want to introduce a kid into a world that is ending? Tell them hey, we made this world for you. You’ll fight in the water wars of 2040?

      How about climate change? 20 years ago there was hope

      Twenty years ago, we invaded a country to steal it’s oil while dismantling the nascent EV/Solar industry to protect fossil fuels

      We are here today precisely because things were worse twenty years ago

      You’ll fight in the water wars of 2040?

      Better fighting to preserve water tomorrow than bloody your hands fighting for oil yesterday

      You’re saying things were better 20 years ago because there was false hope? By that logic 2020 must’ve been the best year ever because CO2 emissions actually dropped.
