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...
Optimism isn’t just mindset, it’s fuel. I’m proving it building StormSide, memoir + fantasy born from fire, now turning pain into pages. Always good to cross paths with others pushing hope into action. stormside.substack.com ⚡🔥
Honestly, your perspective on climate change change is very one sided. Yes we may have fewer deaths this year but there is no reason to think that it will stay that way. Especially heat waves in low income countries will be very deadly in the future. They are not yet on a very deadly level right now but that will change. Furthermore, climate change change will cause massive economic damage and is doing so already. We just don’t frame it that way or measure it in a structured way.
Look I think the point you made is a valid point but not bringing up other points that show that climate change is potentially hugely deadly in the future is just one sided. The step from 1,5 to 3 C is not just double as bad. It is much worse.

I guess Scotland’s Navy didn’t make the cut for the DOE Nuclear Pilot Program. I would have thought it would have qualified as the control group. Maybe Fukushima would provide more scale. But Hanford in Washington State would be the domestic choice for control group with length of experience in how to store nuclear waste.

Strongly agree with you on the weirdness of electric being uncool. Cooling something up on that.
I do like your opening, “Really good week. The optimism gods smiled on me, made it easy."
