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...

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.

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.
