It's Only Natural

Climate Change is Woke - Carry On.

Ice will melt, water will boil
You and I can shake off this mortal coil
It's bigger than us
You don't have to worry about it

It's circumstantial
It's nothing written in the sky
And we don't even have to try

Preparing for the future.

Many of you will be familiar with the proverb, “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.”

The desire to improve things for future generations, taking measures to help others, if not ourselves. Addressing climate change is a similar consideration.

If you’re reading this, chances are, demographically speaking, that, along with me, you won’t be around to see the worst impacts of climate change. That’s assuming things continue along their current trajectory to oblivion and don’t get too exponential.

So, like planting seeds that we will not see grow to bear fruit or those who built great buildings knowing they would not see their completion, our interest in climate change is mostly about others, even if they’re “our” others, rather than ourselves.
