As usual, if "climate change is real", and "we should transition", then please go tell that to Silicon Valley VCs, because they trated "lower taxes" with "no more public funding or governance over anything related to the transition, replaced by the federal government using money to make sure noone is working on the issue".
We'll see how it goes, maybe energy transition will be worth it for enough companies that the market alone deal with it.
But it's wrong to say that "we did not do anything" to change from a +5°C forecast to a +3°C forecast. Some people did stuff. Some people opposed that stuff. Whoever prevails in the end will decide how things evolve (I'm not writing "how things end up", since it's not the end )
But at least it's becoming trendy again to make electricity with fission. Toi bad it's becoming "un American" to have an electric car, or electric stove, or electric heater, etc...

Strongly agree with you on the weirdness of electric being uncool. Cooling something up on that.
