Four years ago, I would have thought a catastrophic #summer like the one currently devastating the northern hemisphere would precipitate drastic action on #ClimateChange
Then Australia had its 2019/2020 Black Summer of #bushfires and #drought, millions of hectares burned, record-breaking heat, billions of animals died, hundreds of homes destroyed ... and within a few years our government was approving new coal mines and gas extraction.
Maybe the EU/US won't repeat our stupidity ... but I'm not optimistic.

It’s extraordinary how quickly people opt to forget. The forces of inertia of course encourage that forgetting. Politicians are rarely resistant to the #carbonarchy’s $$$

Democracy sometimes move slowly until there is a groundswell which drives change. Australia managed to solve its #GunControl problem, something America has failed on an epic level
