Wouldn't argue against it being pithy, and I don't dream we'd all unite to save the planet. What I do dream and hope for is we have less of a united force destroying the planet and a larger disunited force trying to actually save it.
i dream for it as well. but, again, “united” is only incidental, right?? of course, it’s not coincidental that people,individually, jumped on the great utility that fossil fuels provided. now we are looking for people to see the benefit to prevent something fairly unintuitive and intangible- it’s a big ask. there’s room for plenty of approaches but i would root for the ones that dances around “greater good” but, rather, work within the framework of human behavior for what it is. altruism is in the mix but probably can’t be relied upon to be the primary driver for where we need to get.
