*Forget 2030 or 2040, Says Greta Thunberg, World Must 'Reduce Our Emissions Right Now'.*

I think she is right, as a general point. Targets in the future serve as an excuse not to make big efforts right away.

I think that Covid-19 did great harm to the climate strike movement. It distracts people's attention to a threat that, ultimately, is not as big. And it prevents the large demonstrations that made climate strike influential.

I hope it won't be too long before it regains its influence. Civilization's survival depends on that.
