Let's imagine the government got their act together and decided to act on climate change. I firmly believe that simply investing in R&D, reforming industry and rebuilding infrastructure will not be enough. Whatever policy is introduced to fight climate change it will have to include, one way or another, radical reduction in consumption. We might as well pretend that that policy is already enacted and start behaving accordingly.
- less flying.
- less meat more plants.
- take some days off. reduce commute.
- if you have any fossil investments... for love's sake, why do you still have fossil investments?!
- hairytrog 7y agoThe only way to do this is a radical change in government from democracy to autocracy. The only way to do that is a catastrophic war or resource shortage.
