Humans can be fallible, violence prone, dangerous to themselves, other species and the world, true.
But humans can also cooperate, achieve amazing feats, and even save the planet from devastation.
I considered this when I heard that 70 years after the first use of atomic fusion, humans have achieved *ignition* at the Lawrence Livermore Lab. That means more energy was produced from a fusion reaction than was used to power it. We have a long way to go, but this is a huge milestone! #Hope #Fusion
@georgetakei Thank you, George, for using your reach on social media to bring us words of encouragement and hope during the best and worst of times ๐Ÿงกโ˜ฎ๏ธ
@chrisculling @georgetakei Hope is good for getting you through the night, but in the light of day, we gotta prepare for impact. And since the #government isn't doing anything, its time to look at your own risks, and mitigate as best you can. Or move if needed. Personally, we did in 2018 - I figured we beat the crowds moving north and away from the oceans or away from the expanding desert. #Florida #Texas #climatechange #emissions
