Fascinating how much we underestimate one another's desire to move toward climate policy! There aren't really that many people who want to see the world burn: unfortunately those who do are very rich and control more and more of the media.

Do you support pro-solar policy? 90% say yes. What percentage of other people support this pro-solar policy? Average estimate: 58.6% Up-front cash for heat pumps? 80% support? What percentage of other people support heat pumps? Average estimate: 46.8% Incredible perception gap.

In Davos, Carney delivered a speech which will go down in history, with overtones of Churchill's 1936 speech about appeasement. Churchill applied this to Hitler’s expansion, Carney to economic coercion and great‑power rivalry. Further delay in confronting Trump = fewer choices and bad outcomes.
