'The perilous heating of this planet is the topic that will, sooner or later, leave all others in the dust.'
that, crossing overheated waters, only grow ever stronger, seasons become hotter, and… but let me just stop there.
I mean, you get the idea, right? And count on one thing: someday, perhaps even in 2024, America's elections are finally going to heat up, too—and I'm not just thinking about Humpty Trumpty or Ron DeSantis. Count on this, too: climate change on its present course ever upwards is going to become the true inflation of the future, as well as an issue, possiblywill end and how politicians respond to it will matter in their vote count .
If you once rejected the very idea of climate change—yes, you Donald Trump and you Ron DeSantis!—you'll be an object of bitter mockery and ridicule. If you supported billionaires who,their own private jets, put striking amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, you'll pay for it politically. If you urge that more coal, oil, or natural gas be produced, you won't have a chance in any election season.
Whether we truly know it or not, whether we accept it or not, whether we paid the slightest attention to COP27, the recent U.N. climate meeting in Egypt, or not, trust me on one thing: the perilous heating of this planet is the topic that will, sooner or later, leave all others in the dust. New cold wars and hot wars will make no sense whatsoever in such a future. After all, we're now on a
planet. Or rather, let me put it this way: either attention to climate change will leave all else in the dust or climate change itself will leave us all in the dust, and how truly sad that would be!
