Hey, I don't want to guilt trip anyone, but here's the way I look at it:
If you love coral reefs and all their wonderful tropical fishes, the arctic tundra with its herds of caribou, or our amazing fertile prairies with acres of cornfields or just life on this planet in general, we've got to stop emitting CO2. If you are one of the millions of birdwatchers, for example, rising oceans are going to wipe out vital wetlands necessary for migrating birds.
I was reminded of all this in an April 6 article from the Sierra Club:
Why do Sea Turtles Need Solar Panels?
Of course, human beings are also threatened by droughts, storms, heatwaves, floods, and general havoc created by climate chaos. So even if you just care about yourself and your family, we've got to stop emitting CO2.
Thankfully, with electric cars and solar panels, we can eliminate 50% of CO2 emissions in the U.S. See the paper that Bond Yee and I wrote, in the side panel to this blog for more details on that. And then, don't feel guilty, take action and start planning your solar panels and electric vehicle purchase (of course if you are a person who only rides a bike or takes public transit, you're already there--congratulations!)
