Hi Tessa, I’m right with you on the level of denial - and also what’s maddening is that we could all change a lot very quickly - think Covid lockdown - if we truly faced reality.

It’s also true, though, that the rate of change of the climate will make a difference. I’m talking about slowing down enough to push climate tipping points far enough into the future that humans and nature have more time to adjust - to migrate, to adapt.

There is not good option, but the less bad option is a whole lot better than the real bad option.

It still requires people to work hard for…losing slower. But that’s way way better than losing faster.

Does that make sense?

Alan’s book is really super at explaining this. Please give it a look.
