זה אולי תסריט פשוט לכתיבה לרשתות החברתיות, אבל זו גם המציאות הקשה של התקופה הנוכחית. בזמן שאנחנו דואגים, בצדק , לבריאות שלנו ושל יקירינו, משבר אחר – האקלים – אורב לנו מבעד לפינה.
אם אתם מצפים שבשלב מסוים הכל יחזור לקדמותו, לימים של לפני המגיפה אז אתם כנראה תתאכזבו, אי אפשר לחזור לחברה שנשענת ומסתמכת על השימוש בדלקים מזהמים ואין שום פתרון קסם למשבר האקלים מלבד מעבר אנרגטי .
