The attitude that Adams has is exactly how I felt in 1996, when I was Thunberg’s age. I felt that technological solutions will emerge, the world is in good hands, responsible adults will take appropriate actions. I was wrong. Fast forward 23 years and nothing has been done, emissions have continued to exponentially increase, every warning has been ignored. It’s now clear that for things to actually turn around the way I thought they would back in 96 would have required massive civil disobedience bordering on revolution, and the aggressive application of military force worldwide to pressure other countries into emissions cuts while pumping huge amounts of resources into supplying the world with carbon free power (at the time, nuclear). Which is pretty much what has to happen now except the timeline is insanely, unfairly shorter.
