          After the US election I’m already in full on doomer mode. We were going towards 3 degrees Celsius before that already. All the copium articles were already “if we act NOW then…” kind of garbage, as if people suddenly became okay with actually needed climate policies. And now the world is supposed to compensate for all of the US emissions that will come out of Trumps fascist agendas? Not gonna happen.

            I unfortunately don’t have the luxury of giving up- us parents in the know are aware we had it much easier than our kids will, and we didn’t have it easy either.

            I cant stop it, can’t ignore it, but I can do what I can.
