An entire lineage of influenza B viruses literally went extinct due to COVID mitigation measures and people will still say “masks don’t work”
I don't know if regular people will ever realize how insane it was that we literally did not have a flu or RSV season in January 2021.

Yes, typically asbestos filled structures are demolished in a few days with no mitigation measures and dumped by a golf course under a mesothelioma cloud.
WELKER: Why didn't the president tell the public he was going to tear down the entire East Wing, which as you know is part of the people's house?
BESSENT: Well, I think this was a judgment call on the president. The president is a master builder. It could've been asbestos. It could've been mold.

Mitigation/adaptation in action.
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.

Climate mitigation and adaptation measures are not costs. They are investments.
The true costs occur when mitigation fails and adaptation is too slow so we suffer from continually worsening extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods.
Invest now to reduce costs in future.

Geopolitical conflict impedes climate change mitigation
Conflict doesn’t just worsen climate change—it obstructs mitigation. From military emissions to shattered cooperation, war derails climate action. Are IPCC scenarios too optimistic?
