I love conservation amd vote in favor of parks and such at every opportunity.
The difference seems to be whether the appeal is to the intellect, or the appeal is to fear.
- adrianN 5y agoThe difference seems to be the willingness to spend money now to potentially avert huge costs in the future.
- roenxi 5y agoWe could, but the people who think long term are going to be much more worried about where the energy comes from, full stop, rather than the climate. If there is enough energy we can survive anything comfortably. Cities can be moved. If we don't crack that nut then even a pleasant climate will probably see a lot of bloodshed. At any point in this journey the climate problems could have been brushed aside by going nuclear. If we aren't going to go nuclear, then we've done the sensible thing and waited for renewables to be cost competitive.
- adrianN 5y agoBoth "going nuclear" and building a sufficient amount of renewable generation capacity counts as "spending money now" for me.
