What surprises me: We spend endless amounts of time debating the consequences of climate change. Yet somehow we behave as if climate change itself is already a settled chapter, something previous generations dealt with, leaving us only to cope with the aftermath. The reality is that we’re only at the beginning of the impacts. What’s coming will be far worse than what we’ve seen so far. And much of it is still preventable, if we finally decide to act. Instead, we’ve developed this remarkable ability to file each new disaster under “unfortunate, but inevitable” and then carry on marching cheerfully toward the cliff.

@masek@infosec.exchange @frank@moessingen.social That’s not my impression at all. I mean, the climate change *is* a given and it‘s correct to talk about adaptions. However, I read „here‘s another fire and these things will happen even more often in future“ often enough. I agree that there ought to be far more efforts to prevent as much temperature increases as possible. But I don’t see this „we“ like you do.
