What if your preferred solution doesnt curtail the raise in temperatures fast enough and renders large parts of earth inhabitable for future generations?
there is no perfect solution, i understand the risk associated with nuclear power but i think the smartest minds thinking deeply about the climate space all basically agree that there is no solution to fighting climate change that doesnt include nuclear. we should be sinking lots of money into reducing the risks and coming up with innovative ways to make it ubiquitous
- c7DJTLrn 6y agoWe are already past that point. The world is not reducing carbon emissions fast enough. I don't see how nuclear allows us to reduce them any faster. The bottleneck is funding and will of the everyday man. The world won't become uninhabitable - global warming alone is not going to cook us. What will happen is more natural disasters, difficulty with natural resources and farming, and wars for those resources. Climate engineering is the best hope to reduce global warming. Aerosols sprayed into the atmosphere, that sort of thing.

Sea levels will rise, so much heat and humidity in some places that your body won't be able to regulate its internal temperature...
