I wrote previously how I felt that we are, as a society, moving way too quickly with respect to many climate initiatives and, as a result, causing many people to unduly suffer in the short term.

- Yes, action needs to be taken.
- No, you don’t have to punish everyone, particularly in the midst of a cost of living crisis, right now to begin to address the issue.
