   All the things Arlo is talking about in the second panel are parts of everyday life – it’s called living. We’re never going to fix climate change by shaming people who want to visit relatives on another continent or take a dream trip to experience another culture (especially when the Fed Ex, UPS, and Amazon fleets never stopped flying). We’re not going to compensate for the coal usage in China and India by celebrating the joblessness of people in the service industry in the West. If we are going to fix it, it will be the way we cured polio and landed people on the moon. It will be with carbon capture, a smart grid, better energy storage capability to make solar and wind reliable, and new technology for air travel.

   Protesters? I remember reading how, at the height of the protests, the protesters all said (including those in healthcare) that it was a ‘risk they were willing to take’. I thought just as you that the risk they were taking included other people. But of course despite plenty of photo and video evidence to the contrary we are now to believe that they all social distanced and wore masks the whole time and of course not one case has been traced back to the protests. But every time some poor schmoe in FL steps foot on a beach he is compared to Dr Mengele.
