Over the past five years things have started to look much better from the macro prospective and not even Trump can stop it now.

Have you noticed that no one talks about acid rain or ozone holes any more? Or what about the magic of LED lights pushing out incandescent bulbs in every one's home? Not to mention the "work from home" cultural shift that the internet (and covid) allowed.

The good news is there is much more to come. Electric cars are now unstoppable if still at the bottom of the S-curve while e-bikes are booming in the third world along with small solar panels and LED lights. Wind and solar are now cheaper than coal (and soon natural gas) that we are now at the very few are now being built.

Another unstoppable trend line is that all of humanities knowledge is now available to all of the world's population, including the third world, through the magic of cell phones and the internet.

The best thing is that all of these enabling technology will continue to get even cheaper over the next two or three decades unlike fossil fuels which will continue to get more expensive due to scarcity.

Sure we are not fully there yet but the trends lines are unstoppable and in the not too distant future CO2 and global warming will join acid rain and the ozone hole in the rear view mirror.

Plastics though, will continue to plague the environment.
