(21,088 posts)Not convinced of the importance of being "smart".
Not convinced of the truth of anything we believe.
I know the numbers - I used to work on the issues of "what can we do" quite hard. Now I don't, and this seems right for me. It's not right for you - at least not yet, and perhaps it never will be. But there are at least 6,999,999,998 other people besides you and me in the world, and they all have different ideas of what is right for themselves (and others...)
I think we should all do exactly what we feel called to do, whether it's working or sitting still, believing or not believing.
If the CO2 disappears, fine. If it doesn't, that's fine too. At least as far as I'm concerned (which isn't nearly as far as it used to be).
I'm far more intrigued by noticing what's happening right now than trying to grasp the mists of the future and direct them according to my will. I tried that, and I found it leads only to personal suffering. Now I prefer to watch.
I'll keep an eye on your efforts. I'm glad you're passionate about them.
