First substantive post, so I'll get right to the point. I think solving climate change is about courage. We're at the top of a ski hill, deciding what slope to take. We have all the tools and expertise to navigate the steepest slope. We need the guts to use them.

I talk about "The Scientific Case for Courage" in this video from last year.

It has nothing to do with courage in some kind of generalized societal sense: it has to do with class conflict and whether we can overcome the current leaders of our societies.

@RichPuchalsky don't disagree. I was in this case directly speaking to the Canadian government and people trying to influence federal policy. They were in the room, so the "we" definitely has government at its core.
