Tackling it involves lowering our standard of living. To have any hope of pulling that off politically, we need to care more about it than we do about our massive SUVs and our car-centric suburban lifestyles.
- basisword 5y ago>> Tackling it involves lowering our standard of living. Never happening. Young people are already facing a lower standard of living the previous generation. If you think they’re going to accept an even greater decline you’re not going to win. We need to get the current technological solutions (e.g. clean energy solutions) down to roughly the same cost as fossil fuels, and we need new technological solutions in areas where we can’t solve emissions without a reduction in standard of living.
