I'm curious if we've reached that mythical "point of no return" yet that climate scientists have been pushing back every 5 years that I've been alive. Surely we must be beyond that point by now.
Seriously, though. I'm fully on board with building nuclear reactors everywhere, transitioning to electric cars, etc. I'm just tired of seeing policies that screw over the average working class person when politicians are still flying private jets everywhere. No one seems to want to do more than lip service to the issue.
Worse yet, as a moderate, the parties that supposedly want to do anything about the problem are the same parties who are radically progressive. I want moderate populist policies. There's no way I can vote for left wing groups these days even if I thought they would do something meaningful to fight climate change. I would be significantly better served trying to convince conservatives to care about the climate than to try to convince progressives that a 5 year old doesn't know enough about themselves to decide they are trans.
The climate is important. Its not so important that I'm willing to encourage progressive narratives over. Besides, global birth rates are in decline. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a rapid drop in emissions over the next 100 years for this reason alone.
