I absolutely hate to be THAT guy, but this whole thread brings to mind the Newsroom segment from 2014 - https://youtu.be/XM0uZ9mfOUI?t=83 https://youtu.be/XM0uZ9mfOUI?t=83 . We had a good chance of doing something meaningful 60 to 70 years ago, but now we're really just re-arranging deckchairs on the Titanic as the ship goes down. I've spent the past four years working for a climate change mitigation company, and the more people I met in the 'industry' the more depressed I got. Almost all of the work being done in the environmental space is 'make work' stuff. People shuffling research papers around, attending conventions and expos, networking with their peers to build a route to their next role. It goes on and on in a huge circle of ineffective (albeit sometimes sincere) activity. The problem is all stakeholders demand a return on investment, preferably a large one. Forget about the return being a liveable future for our grandchildren, they want cash in x years or no investment. Hilarious and so stupidly tragic. Yes we need massive systemic political change, but we all know deep down that's not going to happen in time. The pandemic showed us what we could do if we really wanted to, and what happened? Here we are now with emissions rising even faster, and people blathering about 'net zero', which everyone knows is just smoke and mirrors. And now Ukraine is 'forcing' countries to return to dirty fuels to stay warm this winter. We're kind of done. But seriously, I heartily applaud anyone here and beyond if they feel the need to do something to help, no matter how modest. I still try and remain upbeat and optimistic as I search for a new role to help out. But it's increasingly clear that my biggest concern for the future will be how can I try and maintain a secure food source for the family as things start to tip over.
