We will remember everyone.
Everyone who fought, who lived, who died, and every conscientious objector, too.
We will remember their sacrifice.
We will remember their belief in freedom, and the common humanity that unites us.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
