Thanks, appreciate response, based on my experience posting these on HN, already exceeded my expectations. Though I agree with everything you said, reality is no single (average) person is able to may a significant impact. CO2 emissions alone worldwide are currently around 36 billion metric tons, which mean 4.6 metric tons per person per year. I personally would be perfectly happy to do whatever it takes, but also know short of aliens showing up with a magic, safe, usable, etc source of energy, humanity neither has the will power, nor self-control, nor ability to solve the problem using technology.
Happy to be proven wrong, but as far as I am concerned, right now I have changed my position to unless billions of people rapidly change course, humanity is rolling the dice and odds are not looking good.
Guess I was hoping I was wrong, that there was some new scalable, economic tech coming — or there was new away to “share” the message that has been proven to make a difference — instead nothing has changed.
