Truth. I was just leafing through a Popular Mechanics article from 1911 outlining future climate change and that was with just 2 billion tons a year of fossil fuel use as it was then instead of the steady increase to the 40 billion a year we're currently on, which has compressed a time scale of hundreds of years to basically right now. We are refusing to acknowledge stuff our great-great-grandparents understood. The Johnson Administration was seriously working on it in the mid 1960s during their advance work for the National Environmental Policy Act. The US Senate didn't start to make a move until it was persuaded to in 1985 by a certain senator -- one Joseph R. Biden -- in a law that led to James Hansen's famous report and testimony about the climate emergency to Congress three years later. And then that fall we elected an oilman to the White House who blew up a global effort to do something about it and we've been stuck ever since.
Getting unstuck is just the start. It's now change our lives or watch life on earth die and us with it.
