Will be interesting to see what we try cook up when climate change starts to really bite.

I dunno. I don't see it as amazing.
I mean I do in the general sense - but what it actually shows is how much progress, innovation and human quality of life is stifled by the capitalist/corporate system.
It's not amazing in that it should be like that all the time. It's amazing in the more gobsmacking but also yeah everyone already knew sense.
It's not great that it takes a global fucking pandemic or a climate crisis for us to do great things, the rest of the time of which we are held hostage.
Same as usual; takes world wars to lift countries out of depressions.
Takes cold wars to get us to the moon. lol @ NASA announcing plans for the moon in 2022. 20 fucking 22. vs 1969.
