We are dying here, literally, and this is a major victory, but it’s damned near nada and we’re still dying here.

We’re not dying, though. We’re still alive. We might be heading towards climate disaster, but we aren’t there yet, and the future isn’t a forgone conclusion; don’t give into the idea that we’re already dead and just don’t know it. If Montana ends up being the one safe haven for climate study (and it probably won’t be alone), I’ll take that over whatever cockamamie “plans” the next admin has.

As long as science can keep happening in relative safety, we have hope of progress.
