Those things will still be there in 6 months. Millions more will be displaced and the economy in a shambles. The network can't take the upset. We should figure it out and not just rush headlong without thinking.

Pause, not stop. Think before we act. The consequences are real.

8.8 million people a year die from carbon emissions. 6 months of deaths is more than 4 million people. If we can transition to clean energy 6 months sooner we'll save millions of lives.
