Everything in the more general direction of environmental engineering has failed IMHO. For instance speaking of efforts to limit animal populations in Australia that led to explosions of other animal populations. Or trying to make rivers straight. Also considering the concept of sponge cities and that Wuhan is one of those isn't very reassuring.
But generally I'd agree if everything else possible was done (like a 10x reduction of fossil fuel) but we've not even started. In fact CO2 emissions increased 6% in 2021.
- thematrixturtle 4y ago> efforts to limit animal populations in Australia that led to explosions of other animal populations This is a pretty odd way of referring to attempts to intentionally introduce foreign animals into ecosystems where they have no natural predators, with predictable results (rabbits, foxes, cane toads etc).
- blablabla123 4y agoYeah, the cane toads were introduced to control beetles (I thought it was the case for the other animals but it's not)
