Let’s compare and contrast several different approaches to the future of earth’s climate.
1) We have Hawaii’s youth who studied and researched the best available information on the subject, and presented it to an authority in position to do something about it.
2) You can watch a Rupert Murdoch news channel. His paywalled expensive outlets (Wall St Journal, Barron’s) will usually tell you truthfully the economy is great, and only warp climate info minimally. For Murdoch. His cable packaged Fox & cheap NY Post will tell you the economy is horrible, food prices and inflation are out of control, nobody can afford a house, but don’t help the lazy bums. Then they burn up time on general outrage, climate lies, and selling you cans of freeze dried Quayle Pototoe Flakes and beans that you can bury in a hole in the ground behind your trailer. And everything EV, solar, and wind has some catastrophic built in problem waiting to happen. All the while Fox and Post consumers remain completely oblivious to the contradictory information Murdoch provides his generally more educated and wealthy subscribers. The educated and wealthy who will get the tax breaks they crave thanks to Murdoch’s odd couple blind date set up with the conspiracy believers and survivalists who watch and read his stories of fear and loathing.
3) Jesus. Ayetoro is a city in Africa on the coast built by true believers so they could live God’s life. It is sinking into the ocean. I hope they lived a kind and peaceful life up until now, and probably had less trouble with car thieves and no-good-robber-stealers than we do in Puna, but prayer and good works seem to be beyond the scope of what can be accomplished to mitigate rising sea levels.
4) Denial. Probably a successful approach if you are old and will die in a few years. “It’s just a little hotter than usual, nothin’ goin’ on here.”
I think the Hawaii kids have the alternatives beat, if you want results.
