Got update on India heatwave situation from parents. Really bad though they’re in relatively cooler part. Temperatures seem to be 5-8 C hotter than anything I experienced growing up there. Welcome to the future I guess.

At some level it’s clear we’ve given up on hard choices and will be on whatever the default, unmanaged trajectory is until it becomes the unmanageable trajectory We’ll get through the climate crisis, for some X% of “we” Goal all around is now to be in the X%, not maximize X%

Secondary goal: if you make it to X% spin a tale to aestheticize it Interesting shift in last few years is how compounding climate news has managed to punch through noise of Trumpism, Covid, denialism etc. and set up an ominous background ticking noise growing steadily louder

Say you had alphabet money to move the needle on climate change - actual climate change rather than public perception. What would you think was most actionable? Who would you recruit to do this?
