Conversation with an Old Man: Climate Change
Q: What is your idea about global warming
OM: It's real. One can only deny chemistry and temperature readings for so long. The oceans are several degrees above average, according to the science. And the certain chemistry of co2 is almost 300 years old.
Q: So what can we do?
OM: There's a lot we can do. Driving an EV or a hybrid, putting up solar panels and using less energy everywhere is what you can do.
Q: What else?
OM: Electing officials who believe that driving an EV or hybrid, and all that, are the correct ways to govern. In the meantime, getting prepared for the changes and helping the countries of the south be prepared are incumbent.
