Did we though? At least in Germany a bunch of anti-climate-change projects and changes have been and are being canceled and we're going back to coal and diesel. It seems we're optimizing to have no results and negative progress at the moment.

Yes, interesting that the People dropping bombs did not anticipate blowing up.

Our elites have revealed many flaws recently, but one I did not expect is that they have surprisingly limited intelligence.
