My friend Jeremiah always asks me the most interesting questions.

He just asked “Will anything change after this pandemic? Will we treat the earth better and/or mitigate global warming. This may have been our last warning”

My off the cuff answer...

Nup.

As usual nothing will really change except some of the tech trends that will accelerate.

Work from home, freelancing, streaming, online ordering of everything etc.

And for better or worse, we’ll end up needing to lean on tech to fix the planet after we’ve taken it past the point of no return.

Ocean cleanup devices, tech that extracts carbon from the atmosphere etc. etc.

If we can conceivably terraform Mars we can do it to earth.

To be clear I’m not advocating that we ignore climate change or the urgent need to switch to renewables. I’m just saying that we’re not going to do it fast enough because too many people are too stupid, lazy and slow. #personalperspective
