Bezos on climate: "While others might fret that climate change will soon make the planet uninhabitable, the billionaire (Bezos) wrings his hands over the prospects of diminished growth. But the scenario he describes is indeed grim. Without enough energy to go around, rationing and starvation will ensue."
As Lovelock as said, currently the only answer is nuclear energy and that's largely rejected while the non-Western countries increase their fossil fuel use 'up to but not beyond' Western levels. They have a way to go and it seems not to involve cutting back whatever words emerge.
- carapace 7y agoYeah, nuclear energy for the long-term (I'm hearing that it would take too long to build the reactors to be much immediate help with climate change) and biomemetic food production (regenerative agriculture, "Permaculture", applied ecology, etc.) As much as I would like to go to space I don't think mass migration will be possible (unless we make some crazy technological breakthrough like anti-gravity or something.)
