This day ten years ago I noted that people were starting to pay attention to global warming.
Ten years later we’ve gone from attention to climate anxiety. Tens of thousands of fruit bats dropped dead from a single heat wave, literally dropping from the trees by the dozens. Another heat wave going on right now is so bad that fruit is cooking on the trees.
And what are we doing? Still mining and burning coal. Still driving gasoline powered cars, and buying more of them. Still flying to Thailand to “treat yourself”. Still waiting for someone else to do something.
