What's encouraging me is discoveries that i've made since writing the ministry for the future. The response is picking up, i think, as the pandemic was a slap in the face. I didn't know there were actual papers in nature quantifying the possibilities of pumping water out from under the big glaciers in anarctica and ind greenland. And now, as i learn more, we're coming into the the cop meeting in scotland, and then also the u.N. Environmental meeting next month. These will be moments for the international unity to come together and stare at each other and admit that not enough is happening fast enough. Not enough is getting paid for enough.
