If only we had detailed information telling us the climate is changing far faster than any time in human history... ...and if only we had an unambiguous physical explanation for why those changes have occurred... ...then some politicians would still deny any problem exists.

Don’t we have this information? One could come up with an infographic or animation showing that the slope of change of temperature and CO2 is orders of magnitudes different. I work in industry and often find that marketing people react more when the graphs are spectacular.

Let’s make cars less comfortable to be in. For instance, remove the air conditioning for all vehicles.

Yes, that would have been so awesome. Just think we had this information in the seventies! Or if someone had written a book about it! A book that had been a bestseller! Or if there were millions protesting for a change - in 1970? 😱🤯

If only we had politicians who would have the courage to face the climate crisis, take the necessary actions and explain to the people what they are doing and why.

Some people want to act and don’t have the financing. I’m also in the education nonprofit space in Jamaica. Schools want to convert to solar and have to raise the funds to do so but have other needs such as actually feeding students who don’t eat regularly at home. So just wanting isn’t enough 1/2
