Not getting a lot of focus (tho it is getting some) is that Trump's election spells the end of any attempt by the US to mitigate global warming, for the foreseeable future.
Which pretty much means we can anticipate having to deal with the worst likely scenarios. As I've said before, my own previous pessimism wasn't pessimistic enough to encompass what we're looking at, & in the US we will not be able to count on any help from our government.
My pessimism on this is predicated on the simple truth that the Trumpist ideology is aggressively opposed to any climate change mitigation. Trumpists will treat anything that can be construed as such as blasphemy, & persecute accordingly.
My fear is that it's going to be bad enough that the only way we get any mitigation is to rationalize it in some other way. E.g. solar power will be great because we can't get new generation capacity online fast enough to power LLM server farms.
