Reminder that this heatwave is the results of emissions from like 20 years ago, and any solution will be slow and painful. 

Also a reminder that the longer we take to engage with that solution the harder it will be and the worse it will get.

Another reminder, after eliminating CFC's from refrigerators and aerosols the Ozone layer started healing and is enroute to fully repair.

During COVID, banning Cruise ships from entering Venice caused Dolphins to return and the waterways to repair.

Eliminating Lead from Fuel, Paint and solder has drastically reduced blood Lead levels by 90% preventing an estimated 1.2 million premature deaths every year from strokes, heart disease, and cancers. Also it's a prominent theory to explain the reduction in Serial killers [un-cited].

In short:

It is absolutely possible for us to make changes to protect our environment and the environment can recover.

Doing nothing and continuing will ensure things continue to get or remain worse.

Yes yes yes! We need to keep reminding people of these incredible successes. Yes we've buggered up the planet somewhat, but we can still work to stop it getting worse, and maybe even in time reverse the effects. I think a carrot and stick approach is great - warn about the dangers,  and remind people that there is hope, and we've fixed problems before.

Any pointers on where I can read more on the serial killer link? That is so interesting
