Agree with all but the final sentence. I think it should read: Many of us really don’t want to fix it.
Why?
Because though tech-based solutions, are a prerequisite, they are now insufficient, & need to run alongside profound social change. This is not…

I’d like to think this reflects a deep engagement & concern around climate change, but it’s a cold & snowy evening in Hebden Bridge so perhaps people are just saving on heating … but this was a surprise!

And today (6th January 2025), the climate challenge is some 40 billion of tonnes of carbon dioxide more challenging than it was then (Feb 2024)! And it gets harder still everyday we continue to burn fossil fuels and eat hi-emission diets.
