Alan Moore: "The Nazis didn't come from Mars, they weren't monsters such as the world had never seen; they were street sweepers and factory hands and bakers and butchers. But when someone in uniform told them to, they went out and killed six million human beings. And the same would have happened..."

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Project Hanuman is here. I hope you'll take a look as I think it's a pretty good space opera - no hero's journey here - this is about community, how we build back better and, of course, mind bending space battles in sentient ships.
