The problem is that timelines are central to the discussion. If we have 8 years, we are limited to existing technology for the most part and geological/biological solutions will be of limited use.
If we have 800 years, we can use more trees and bet more future technology.
- nixpulvis 5y agoHmmmm, I mean the point is that it's urgent. I think we should all be able to agree on that by now. The weather is to the point it's changing and weather is a far more localized phenomenon. At the very least we shouldn't be making matters worse by, for example, inventing stupid new ways of wasting precious energy. Conservationism needs to be the new norm, and we can take new technologies that help as the are available. However, much of the work will need to be on the policy side, as unfortunate as that may be to us technologists.
