So, fatalistically accept that climate change is happening and we don’t have a choice? Or stop driving cars altogether? (I like this plan most)

- thdespou 4y agoStop PCP payments first and then we will see how many can afford a car.
- djbebs 4y agoClimate change isn't nearly as big of an issue as the proposed solutions
- flockonus 4y agoimho, too little too late. At this point we need carbon negative solutions, not only incremental improvements (combustion car -> electric car), this is the same lack of ambition as banning plastic bags on grocery stores in 2022, might have been a timeline solution in 2000.

How do you get your food (and - you'll likely buy it from somewhere - how does it get there)? Stopping individual traffic is a pipe dream. Climate change is happening, and we don't have a choice, nor will we be able to stop it - so we do what has always been the major advantage of our species: quick and rapid adaption. Accept that some land is lost, and move to places that are more habitable. Install air conditioning / heating where necessary. Change agriculture to focus on new produce that is more adapted to the climatical circumstances. And start working on a Plan(et) B, because we have only a few more hundred years.
- raydiatian 4y ago> few more hundred years Wow that seems like a generous figure. I’d guess fifty at best.
