Don't make assumptions. I have both an electric car and a 7kw solar system on my home. Not because I'm saving the world or smelling my own farts, but because it makes economic sense. That is the reason, the only reason, climate change will be solved.
- benschulz 7y agoLots of things make economic sense. That does not make them possible, let alone probable. What makes you so confident in our ability to find solutions that you predict we will look back on global warming as similar to Y2K?
- Damorian 7y ago"where there's a will, there's a way." Like I said, these problems are hypothetical and immaterial. If people were struggling to drink clean water or get food, they'll prioritize it with their time and money to solve it. We're dealing with massive time scales to solve these problems. The media makes money off the hyperbolic, pseudoscientific fanfiction they churn out and politicians are elected by fear. "97% of scientists believe in climate change" doesn't mean "97% of scientists believe we've caused the Apocalypse and it's over for humanity in the next decade." It simply means "97% of scientists think the world is warming and is caused in part by human activity."
