You don't have to accept statements like this.
An example: My wife loves fireflies but we noticed there weren't as many around anymore. So I did a little research, found out how to attract more to our yard, and now a few years later our yard is packed full of them.
You can affect the world for more than you realize
This is exactly what "trust the science" looks like. Scientists updated the worst-case scenario because real-world emissions are tracking below RCP8.5's 2010-era assumptions of runaway coal expansion, primarily because wind and solar got cheap and climate policy started bending the curve. The new CMIP7 HIGH scenario published in Geoscientific Model Development still projects roughly 3°C of warming by 2100, twice the Paris target and a temperature Earth has not seen in roughly 3 million years.
The position being celebrated here amounts to: the climate policies worked well enough to retire the worst-case scenario, therefore we should kill the climate policies. That is hearing the smoke alarm shut off and concluding the fire department was a hoax.
We’ve skipped the "we’re all in this together" phase of Hantavirus and gone straight to "how to manage your health anxiety"- about a virus with a 40% death rate, with a public health system on life support.
The ink is barely dry on the infamous “Roadmap to Normal,” while millions are deceased or have been disabled by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic- and they’re already pathologizing concern about the next outbreak.
Apparently, once again, the goal isn't to do “all the (public health) things” and to properly educate the public- it's to make sure we don't "spoil the vibe" by remaining vigilant.

@notoddcrows they already did Springer in a previous set! He is beautiful
And Mags was teased, I think we will get him eventually. They really like to mix the characters up in these sets, but I think it makes them great
