Why are educated people more likely to be liberal/progressive in the US?
This is probably the finest answer to this question that I’ve ever seen:

Christian nationalism is probably our greatest threat to democracy:

‘Now Or Never’: New U.N. Report Sees Narrow Path For Averting Climate Catastrophe
I’m getting pessimistic:
“To achieve the 1.5-degree target, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 and then be cut approximately 43% below 2019 levels by the end of the decade, and 84% by 2050, the IPCC said.
That is a monumental task. Human greenhouse gas emissions were 12% higher in 2019 than in 2010, and policies implemented at the end of 2020 have put the planet on course to a devastating 3.2 degrees of warming. Existing and soon-to-be-built fossil fuel infrastructure are forecast to spew enough pollution into the atmosphere in the coming years to put the 1.5-degree target out of reach.”
