I have questions about the consistency of German mashed potato.
I ate quite a lot of 'smashed' potatoes close to that consistency just recently.
Mades a nice change from endless pasta or cous cous.
I don't know the answer to that do you?
Some have said it is already to late?
I doubt the timescales will be any different because of these specific art protests. Unless of course the rather nebulous idea that any protest must be doing some good is true...a bit like the butterfly effect.
It's not too late to limit the degrees of warming.
Nor to build resilience, make reparations, and facilitate adaptations in our systems.
Every tenth of a degree we can control will limit the future damage and suffering.
Keeping it at the top of the agenda is key.
Public awareness, and acceptance of the truth and reality of global heating has increased a lot over the last few years..
Even in the few short 🙄years I've been on CC
Yes and no. It may be an insignificant fruit, of a different order to the sort you mean, but I hear activists credit their activism with the real, here-and-now benefit of helping manage/assuage the personal despair/depression that accompanies the helplessness to which we're encouraged to surrender. Something about reclaiming a sense of personal integrity rather than tacitly approving - through inaction - the destruction of all that is true and beautiful. Finding and exercising courage.
It does help with all that, for sure, so long as you don't use up all your energy.
I like the concept of acting in ways that both our eight, and our eighty year old selves would approve of.
Trying to be a 'good ancestor' ..
All that sort of thing.
But you certainly can't get overly attached to 'outcomes' - certainly not expecting 'instant results' or explicitly stated changes of heart.
You'll be very dissapointed and leave off activism of any sort pretty soon if you expect any of that.
You certainly don't expect any thanks ..
But if you get some occasionally, that's a nice bonus ❣️
