Article is about the UK, but regardless, if it can be done, why not? You got some kind of neocatholic guilt going on? "Climate change mitigation doesn't matter if it doesn't come with a heaping side of suffering".
- paulcole 4y agoIt can’t be done — that’s the problem. Anybody who thinks the “answer” to climate change is anything but sweeping changes to the Western way of living is sadly mistaken. Either it happens through choice before things get too awful or by necessity when things get more awful than anyone alive today is willing to imagine. You can stick your head in the sand and think “boy this rock dust will definitely do the trick…” or you can come to terms with the truth. Climate change is going to deliver suffering whether we mitigate it or not. I have no guilt. I don’t have kids, I live in a small apartment. I don’t eat meat. I don’t drive. I don’t go on airplanes. Even that isn’t enough, but I sleep fine.
