He was the first presidential candidate I got to vote for and I’m still sad he didn’t win.

Yeah idk if I can get that excited about hitting this 2050 net zero target, and then getting to a reduction of 50% of manmade carbons by 50% by 2075. Like, I’ll be 81 years old by then…
Yes it’s good that we now see a path to resolve the climate change crisis, rather than it being permanent existential dread, but I still think it’s a shame that things are going to keep getting hotter for a while before that course starts reversing itself. another 1.5 degree increase in 25 years in addition to the 1.2 degree increase since the late 1800’s
Maybe these trends will accelerate with the natural financial incentives that will exist around renewables, eventually the economics of cheap power will turn. and perhaps new technologies like carbon capture will assist in accelerating these changes. but I wouldn’t say I’m hopeful yet.
We still need to spend trillions of dollars on revolutionizing the grid. lots more work ahead to get to a place where things start improving temperature wise.
