I agree though, shouldn't brush off one achievement just because another is still needed.


BTW...no one is really doing anything about climate change.
We still have geniuses like 12clicks saying it was cold today...so you guys are dumb.
solar energy is not stored or even attempted to be stored at the commercial/industrial level. Most solar power stations are used to create steam (thermal mass) which is easily stored.

Private (smaller more localized) systems easily use batteries.

Btw, plenty is being done about pollution. I don't confuse pollution with climate change.

I've also stated many times my issues with climate change are 1) it politicizes science and 2) simply gets into the way of people taking action on curbing pollution.

so actually, you are dumb.
