> one thing is for certain — we don’t live in a world as dark as our worst fears. At least until 2020, emissions have matched the worst case scenario analyzed by IPCC: https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2007117117 https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.2007117117 At the same time, the US has no greenhouse emissions taxes. But let's just stop worrying and enjoy life. Let all polar species get replaced with tropical ones, and let the tropics become barren scorched desert. (this is mockery of the post) I say: don't obsess over it, but do what is within your influence to steer towards a better future. For instance, my comment here coupled with an upvote to the post would maximize the exposure to potential US lawmakers.
