General Discussion

On the Republican side they'd rather deny that global warming is a danger to us all. On our side we'd rather hear soothing lies about renewable energy and transitions.

We could quit fossil fuels in fifteen years if we approached the problem with the same energy we put into defeating the Nazis and Imperial Japan but that would involve lifestyle changes that most of us are unwilling to accept.

Now it's just a question of how bad do things have to get? It's quite possible we'll keep pretending everything is all right up until the day our twenty first century world civilization collapses entirely.
