But the world has not had a universal effort.
Three months ago a huge bill was passed. One that came as a foglight on the ocean to some, but as a watered-down coffee to others. At this point, it has been more than 100 years since the discovery, and thirty since its huge wave of acknowledgment by the news. But still today, we have massive polluters aware of their actions, and petty deniers arguing on the internet.
Many have promised action, and some action has come. But the world has not stopped warming, species are still being taken off the planet by our own actions, and we still put out toxins into the air that we would not want in our homes. But the world has not had a universal effort.
All our actions are not a necessary evil as some have come to suggest, nor were they ever a necessary evil in past events that caused great turmoil. But the more times the cuckoo clock rings, the harder it will become to take back our actions.
I have a dream that one day we can stand united to face an enemy that hates us all. That we can agree on the fundamentals of what must be done, and that we can see past the immediate strife and hardships that will come, to see the clear skies and lush lands of the future.
This piece ended up super rushed so there was a lot I wanted to say but didn’t up saying.
