I study climate change and sustainability. These are not things that have an on/off switch. There are levels of severity. Current decarbonization efforts project the temperature increase to plateau around 3.8 degrees, which is still catastrophic, but it's significantly better than the 4.2 degree model that is business-as-usual. Every inch of sea level rise equates to 100,000's of new climate refugees all across the globe. I need to do my part in decarbonizing our energy, be that through research as well as activism. Minimizing the fucked-up-ness of the future has real consequences for our species and our planet.
