October 4. Overnight everything has turned into spraying wetness. Autumn draws out the feelings. That’s why I’ve always liked autumn; this one scares me.

Deltas from the Stuttgart Philosophers. (1) Recognition of the importance of actions that have no effect on climate – even if everyone did so – as a signal. (2) The argument that it’s not worth doing things that might reduce emissions by less than one percent if successful could be applied to China in the same way. It is not worth doing anything until China. This argument seems unconvincing. (3) Even doing things you don’t think are worthwhile, to counter the accusation that you’re just being lazy. (4) Passion. Then at least be passionate about the things you think are right. There is no excuse for lack of passion.
