I hope that by now you’re a climate optimist, too. We have a huge fight ahead of us, and the fossil fuel industry isn’t going to fade away quietly. But the tide has already turned. Thanks to new technology, increased public awareness, new laws and rules, and new ways of measuring and understanding the impact of greenhouse gas pollution on our planet, the clean energy revolution hasn’t just begun—it’s become unstoppable.
Oil and gas companies will fight tooth and nail to delay it. But even they know it can’t be reversed.
Still, as much as I would like to say that we don’t have to worry about climate change harming, and perhaps even defining, the future of a child born today, that just wouldn’t be true.
