Earth's clouds are shrinking, boosting global warming

You really think we can unite earth to do something about it? Did u witness the world wide right wing shift? There are people still not believing climate change is real...

Not sure, do you know? Nobody here knows. But what's certain is OP commenter's comment was cheesy and annoying.

My brain turns off when someone says "leftist", tell us you're a conservative without telling us. The internet used to be nuanced, those were the days.

Now that the US has removed itself from the world stage, I think it's possible something useful about climate change can happen. Likely? Still no. But, possible? Yes, in a way that was never going to happen before.

China and the EU are taking over the leadership position that the US inexplicably resigned from. China and the EU take climate change and renewable/sustainable energy technology investment and adoption waaaaaaaay more seriously than the US did. The US has been (and continues to be) actively hostile to it, save for a few contrary blips.

The most powerful climate change denialist and impediment to progress, by far, to doing something to address climate denialist just self-immolated. There's a silver lining in there.

China also has more people than the US and the EU combined, and per capita it pollutes way less than the US.

Additionally, the left is not in charge almost anywhere in the EU.

This is a basic reductionist take, it's really easy to group hundreds of millions of people into one group, right? We're all mourning the loss of the US government, but the people are still here, we're just blinking for help.

>Additionally, the left is not in charge almost anywhere in the EU.

Basically an overwhelming majority of the countries + the commission?

Since when do we wait for China to lead? It's such a ridiculous argument. "Why should we do anything when China bad?" Because we lead, that's why. We used to, anyway.

The right wing shift will be short-lived, like all recent political swings. The constant is a lot of political volatility, and the effects of climate change are not going to help with that.

Unfortunately (or at least ironically) the best chance we have comes from China, which has managed to maintain an ironclad grip on its internal politics and also is actually decarbonizing. The question facing us is when governments realize we’re going to need large scale solar radiation management, and who will do it first.

People not listening to others is what is getting us in this mess. Wake up sheeple!

Can't reply to parent, but just wanted to chime in that HN lets you delete comments within 2 hours, but only if nobody has replied.

Oh. Is the blinking working?

I am not surprised to see you get downvoted like this. Leftists are not tolerant to opposing viewpoints and they live in their own self-reinforcing bubble.
