Plenty of time to rip her back open.
Only if it doesn’t get ripped open by satellites burning up at high altitude again.
contrary to climate change we took that one actually seriously.
we humans are very much able to solve all of our (human made) problems perfectly well, no matter how bad things are looking.
I’m somewhat pessimistic. Even if humans zeroed every single pollution, it won’t be free on us, there’s a bill to be paid, and Mother Nature will effectively charge us for this debt. And it’ll not be cheap.
humans are ingenious and adaptable. but we will have to get up from our collective asses to make any viable solution happen.
a fire is lit under us and i think its a matter of time, the sooner the better.
Eh. The solution to the ozone layer was to replace refrigerant A with refrigerant B. A 1:1 swap that required very little effort from anybody.
Getting off fossil fuels more or less mandates an entire global paradigm shift in how we do basically everything. The entire global economy of the past 200 years has been built off an unsustainable energy source.
Sure, we can replace gas with batteries, but every step of the way is going to require small changes in how people do things, and they’re going to be very resistant to that.

no ad campaign for individual responsibility there, as there was really nothing you could do.
Isn’t that what they told us 20 years ago?
I think 20 years ago they said it’s set to heal by 2050…
Yes, but then China fucked us for a few years. They’ve since stopped, which is why the 16 year difference.
Cool but with all the deniers we should probably stop posting achievements like this.
nah they are the ones in the wrong
