Same problem with climate change. 1) You assume technology will be better. There is no guarantee that this will be true. 2) Externalities like mass migration

Same problem with climate change.
1) You assume technology will be better. There is no guarantee that this will be true.
2) Externalities like mass migration or civil unrest that could occur from food shortages would mean we don’t have a chance in the future to tackle the problem effectively.
- 99_00 6y agoNuclear power can solve climate change now. Technology doesn't need to be better. People don't want to solve the problem now because 1) We don't need to solve it now 2) Fear of impending doom is a great way to push a wide array of agendas (ideological, economic, political) forward.
- kiliantics 6y agoYou sound like a literal parody and it's terrifying to know that you probably actually believe what you are saying. The fact that enough people think like you do, especially those people in positions of power, is why we are all fucked. Thanks. Could you not go and just read some real literature on climate and natural ecosystem dynamics before deciding to believe all this nonsense?
- yco29 6y ago"Why can't we just wait until some magical future time when technology has fixed everything?" Exactly the type of do-nothing idiocy I'd expect from this place. What exactly do you think you're contributing here? On every single important topic, HN consistently pushes to the top whatever sentiment contains the least actionable information. People here are simpletons that can't even fathom anything other than the status quo, even to the point that they'll condone killing off all other life on the planet as long as they don't have to address their own gluttony and revolting ignorance.
