Fun fact @akira2501, 2501 happens to be my exact karma right now. Which will probably dive a bit tonight. ;)
I don't see doing radical things to try to improve the earth as "exactly how we got where we are now." I see exploitation and capitalism & lack of governance & steerage as how we fucked shit up wicked bad. I see a lack of trying bold ambitious things to try and help rectify our situation as causing a colossal negative impact on earth, already, against our cloud cover, against our ocean oxygenation, against our planetwide survivable temperatures, against our more-moderate weather.
We need some big projects. The earth is huge, massive. To begin to have a real effect, we need to start, start making, start experimenting, start scaling. We can assess & learn as we go. We can adapt. With hope, we (Earth) can find sufficient leverage to not become another Drake Equation casualty.
What we cant do is what you propose: refuse to adapt. To gently seek peaceful global consensus, to reach unanimity before we start.
