All of those were needed to get us to the point we are at now, where we can "solve" climate change but don't have the collective political will yet to do it.
What if we were stuck in an 1800's london type environment, just reproducing and burning stuff. Environment would be completely rekt.
- paulcole 5y ago> All of those were needed to get us to the point we are at now Yes and look where it's got us. Time to stop doing those things. The solution to climate change is going to be nothing like what people expect it to be. Nuclear or some magic solution isn't going to present itself. The solution is going to be a monumental shift in how people live and several decades of misery for people who aren't used to being miserable. > What if we were stuck in an 1800's london type environment, just reproducing and burning stuff This would be preferable. London would have been ruined but we wouldn't have been able to scale this to ruin the entire world the way we have now. > Environment would be completely rekt. Environment is completely rekt today.
