Anyone notice the lack of tropical storms and hurricanes this year?

As much as I would love to see the alleged green revolution come to fruition we simply don't have sufficient sustainable supply lines to provide everything we need. 
We know how to drill oil and how to sustain the supply lines, but what we don't have right now are the sustainable supply lines for all the raw materials needed to make the green revolution reality nor do we have enough mature technologies and industries. What is also left out is the fact that a lot of the things needed will require a lot of really dirty energy to manufacturer enough of the green technology to offset it all. It's damned if you do and damned sure damned if you don't.   The lack of sufficient copper mines alone are a huge issue. Hint..electric motors for everything require a lot more copper than we currently have available. That's just the beginning. 

PLEASE 

This shouldn't stop humanity from at least TRYING to do better. 

Government can do something as easy as banning single use plastic bottles and it would make a huge impact. They can also lean more on nuclear and take it as a more serious option. 

The viewpoint you share is the same one that has gotten us nowhere the past 10-15 years. 

Also, how have we been "mislead" about climate change? Half of the Great Barrier Reef is bleached and dying because of rising water temps and we still like to pretend like this isn't a thing?
