What do you think 2024 will look like?
Well, we still have the ability to seize control of
our destiny.
Here's the good news, Jake.
If we stop adding to the overburden of these greenhouse
gas pollutants in the sky,
if we reach what they call true net zero and
stop adding to the heat trapping capacity up there,
the temperatures will stop going up right away.
And if we stay at true net zero,
half of the human cause to greenhouse pollution will fall
out of the atmosphere in as little as 25 to
30 years.
We have the ability to do this and it's not
impractical.
Because we now have the cheapest new source of energy
in the history of the world with solar electricity and
wind electricity,
and the electric vehicles reached 20%
of sales globally this year.
The batteries are now. We had one Gigafactory several years
ago.
Now they're 200 and another 400 being built.
You know, a long time ago one of the Saudi
Arabian oil ministers said we better remember the Stone Age
didn't end because of a shortage of stones.
It ended because something better came along.
We've got something better now we can do this.
If we just overcome the greed and political power of
the Big fuel polluters who've been trying to control this
process,
it's time for people at the grassroots level in every
country to speak up.
And the good news is,
that's happening too.
