Point one:
How we got here
This is a very good read, and explains WHY we got ducked.
"It's CLEAR in my specialty that we are fucked, but I don't know about everything else, so I'm not sticking my head up to get slapped"

Point two:
geologically Historical Data is VERY important
Two-Mile Time-Machine
The ice core data and what it means.
Short and amazing read on the science, and how insanely QUICKLY the climate can change. 10-20 years, not centuries.
The Holocene climate optimum is an anomaly that is rare in the historical data, where the climate was stable.

Point three:
The Infinite Resource
Remember when we ran out of oil in the seventies? And then hit peak oil in 2007?
Mhmm
And then the US became the #1 producer of oil and gas again.
"Europe doesn't have large local supplies"
Liars
The Paris Basin alone probably has more oil and NG than the US.
But legally they can't frak.
That's a legal issue.
"But pollution!!!"
That's a regulation issue.
"But global warming!!!!"
Yawn
The Infinite Resource
Find. Library copy ...
Point to one thing that we are "running out of" and I can prove it wrong.
See the Simon-Ehrlich Bet
Idiot ehrlich lost the bet and hasn't shut up since.
He was wrong then, wrong now, and wrong when he's gone.

Point Four:
What will the kids do?
We already know what they do.
Solar, wind, fission, hydro, not fusion, and who knows what else.
Regenerative breaking alone is a game changer.
Solar is cheap enough for northern states.
Home batteries are cheap and getting cheaper.
Did you see what they're doing in CA?
Recycling old EV battery packs is STUPID.
Company is REUSING THEM, in heterogenous battery storage farms.
The batteries still have >80% of capacity, not good enough for amerikant car drivers, but perfect for battery farms!!
2020 showed us what happens when humans stay home.
The environment recovered. Nature recovered.
It only lasted until the vaccines came out, but it showed what will happen.
Hell, China has negative population growth, India will get there soon enough.
Shrug.
Best video ever.
