Good post Megan, thank you for sharing it with us. I've featured your blog on the frontpage!
Interesting blog post, I've featured it!
I agree, Mark. We need a new green deal and solidarity for all of Europe. The current political direction, with austerity measures and other conservative/liberal policies, clearly doesn't work and only creates a dangerous climate of hate.
Nice post, I've featured it!
My motto is: always leave your camping ground in a better shape than when you came.
Just imagine what a cool world we would live in if we invested more to advance science than our military sector.
Nice post, I've featured it!

Here are some friendly tips on how you can make your post even better (and more likely to get featured again):
I think you should increase the size of your text, otherwise it's pretty hard to read your post.
there’s one only way to reduce this: continuous investments to the sector, that can come from governments or private companies
This. So very much this. Thanks to investments and research since the early days of the industrial revolution the fossil fuel/energy industry has gained an immense advantage over renewables when it comes to costs vs output and so on.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has calculated that between 2012 and 2035 the cumulative worldwide investment into new fossil-fuel processes and extraction will total an estimated $22.87 trillion. During the same period, investment in renewables, and even nuclear energy (not a renewable energy source), will amount to only $7.32 trillion [source].
We need to substantially increase our investments in both research and new renewable energy while at the same time completely slash our investments and subsidies for fossil fuels.
This is a good and educational blog post Meredith. I'll feature it on the community frontpage!
I think that's a great idea. Go for it!

Climate science has always been conservative in its estimates. The scary thing about climate change is that it's moving much, much faster than what our calculations and projections predicted. It's scary. Because we are quickly moving into unknown territories with unpredictable outcomes - especially the human and political reaction that will follow the untold global climate catastrophes.
