> experts that were promising us that two weeks of strict lockdowns would help us defeat the last pandemic for good No. Experts (ie the IPCC) are much more pessimistic than what Shell is admitting in this headline. Current models predict that we need to go way way beyond merely ending growth of fossil fuels to even stay below 2C of warming. We'd need to drastically drop the usage, which we are not on track to do with current government policies. > how does anyone in any position of power expect us, the populace, to follow the same road of hard sacrifices “because science!”? Would you sacrifice based on a hunch? Of course not. Science is frankly the only thing that should convince us to make climate friendly policies. I suspect you really are just unwilling to sacrifice regardless of any reason - it's a waste of time pretending it's because some higher bar hasn't been met.
