I really like this article. Especially this part: “The green future has to be a welcoming one, even a thrilling one. If people cannot see themselves in it, they will fight to stop it. If the cost of caring about climate is to forgo having a family, that cost will be too high. A climate movement that embraces sacrifice as its answer or even as its temperament might do more harm than good. It may accidentally sacrifice the political appeal needed to make the net-zero emissions world real.” I think this is a big issue in the climate movement, We see dumb stuff like Shutting Nuclear Plants while firing up Coal plans[1] and people calling to shoot anyone who supports nuclear power[2] or calls to ban meat. It's just Virtue signaling, Picking things that are the most visible, Like not eating meat or not having children, things that affect peoples life much more than they have an impact on the climate. Replacing one Coal plant with a nuclear one will do much more to stop climate change than you or thousands not having children and not eating meat or any individual act you, or they can do. This focus on picking the most visible thing is driving many people away from caring about climate change. It's now just a race about who sacrifices their lives more for the climate, which is absolutely what you don't tell people to get them to care about something. I think it's a natural result of Social media, it has its benefits like how fast Climate change went mainstream and downsides like this. 1. https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1532054820311470080 https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1532054820311470080 2. https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1532842139117395968 https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1532842139117395968
