“Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” - Winston Churchill.
But dear Winston, sometimes it is too late to do the right thing. You can rebuild Europe after the war. You can’t reconnect the Thwaites Glacier after it collapses. You can’t turn the AMOC back on. You can’t turn the Amazon back into a jungle once it has turned into a Savanah. You can’t put the Methane back in the permafrost.
Anyone got a time machine?
It's fine. I'm buying beachfront property in Indiana.
We are the time machines. Like seeds… planted in a particular spot.
