| Comment | California, the car-drivingest state, has taken admirable steps to
slow down the human causes of global warming. Other states and
whole countries will follow sooner or later. Coal-mining states
will have the hardest transition to new industries and jobs. Yet
without PRC China's fullest effort to change from coal energy, the
jig is up for our unique Planet Earth. (PRC is still poor-mouthing
other wealthy nations.) So I'm still active but pessimistic.
Goodbye polar bears and pika by 2050! Goodbye island nations by
2099! Goodbye "sea-level" cities and population centers!
Sorry for such gloom. But have you seen many drivers keeping
their speed at or under max. lately? Avoiding climate catastrophe
would have required human behavioral change on a massive scale.
