A question to climate deniers on here: Do you believe the markets should determine how we generate our energy?
A mildly hopeful article on tackling climate change, despite Trump🌈You’ve likely already heard the worst-case takes: that a second Trump presidency is a disaster for the climate, and will almost certainly lead to emissions being higher than they otherwise would have been.
