I don't pretend to understand the science.

But I also recently saw some news article that we have basically tipped to having green energy being cheaper now than oil or coal or any fossil fuels. I think we might actually be able to pull this thing out of our asses. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Everyday I am seeing inventions and innovations around the planet from European countries to different places in South America and Africa coming up with new ways of pulling water out of the air, etc
Regardless of how fucked up things are in our country, I have faith in humanity LOL
