The sad truth about our boldest climate target

This is one if the best writings on climate crisis I’ve read recently. To add my two cents<p>&quot;I am a pessimist by nature. Many people can only keep on fighting when they expect to win. I&#x27;m not like that, I always expect to lose. I fight anyway, and sometimes I win.&quot;<p>-- Richard Stallman<p>Fuck hope and optimism. I am gonna go out and fight no matter what. Doing nothing makes me sick.

&gt; They believe that without that public optimism, the fragile effort to battle climate change will collapse completely.<p>I can imagine this being true.<p>If a meteor is going to destroy Earth you probably aren&#x27;t spending your last few days doing the dishes and sweeping the floors. You&#x27;re only doing that if there&#x27;s a &gt; 50% chance that we&#x27;ll be able to divert it.<p>And better than &quot;being optimistic&quot; is rapidly developing the technology and passing the law to make it realistic.

Man if Al Gore was elected we may have had a shot in 2000. But I guess Florida voted to grow gills.
