we have had the perfect storm to do a U-turn on most fossile fuels:

- COVID pandemics: everybody at home, less traveling, massive economic reset and massive capitals injected (EU recovery funding, quantitative easing)

- Russian attack on Ucraine, stopping a big chunk of gas and petrol to Europe

- Strait of Hormuz, also chocking oil coming to the rest of the world

We could have said: "oh, let's swap those energy sources to renewables", "oh, let's bind those capitals to de-carbonization projects", "oh, let's plant trees", "oh, let's stop deforestation". A lot of things could have been said and done. But, well, a certain degree of coordinated intelligence is too much to ask.

At this point I have lost all hopes, whatever comes, we have asked for it.

From my perspective, we simply didn’t evolve to have the kind of collective intelligence required. There’s no point in being angry about it, any more than it makes sense to be angry at any other animal for the abilities it hasn’t evolved to have.
