    “Hope” is the thing with feathers - That perches in the soul - And sings the tune without the words - And never stops - at all -

    And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard - And sore must be the storm - That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm -

    I’ve heard it in the chillest land - And on the strangest Sea - Yet - never - in Extremity, It asked a crumb - of me.

    -Emily Dickenson

    It’s not an answer to the problem, but sometime little things can get us through dark places.

    Even if the world went net zero tomorrow, we would still see new heat records. The climate is like a flywheel on a car, it’ll take a lot if time to notice things slowing down and getting better even after we reduce emissions.

    Things are slowly improving, and it’s likely we’re at the beginning of an S-curve when it comes to renewable energy, which should do some heavy hitting.

    Even so, things aren’t moving as quickly as any of us would like, and that is depressing, but don’t lose hope, Jaun. The future is not set in stone, and the more of us who keep pushing each other on, doing our small parts to help, in whatever way that is, adds up collectively and helps reduce the damage on the other end of that flywheel.

    I know how you feel but we are alive for now. Just enjoy every bit of nature you can. Walks, bike rides, whatever is available in your area. If you have not already, don’t have kids, and just try to reduce, reuse, recycle to the level you can. Enjoy other simple things. Friends, food, and simple fun.

    Well, technically, none of us can if it keeps getting worse.
