re: #136 Obdicut

I do think putting it in those terms— which are completely accurate— runs the risk of making people feel defeated, rather than energizing them to action. I’m not sure what method will actually work better, but I think focusing on China’s leap in green technology is a very good one that will resonate with many Americans, including the older generation.

I think both messages need to be clear. We can avert the catastrophe. We can make a ton of money doing so and revitalize our economy doing so. We can vastly improve our national security by doing so.

All of that is true.

However, the penalty for not doing, what we should be doing anyway, is the utter collapse of our civilization and the deaths of billions. People need to see that no matter how they look at it, they must act, they must act now, they must be serious about acting as if the lives of their children and their very nation is at stake, because they are.
