How is that solar shade coming along?

  Seriously though, I always post this comment and get downvotes. Are we going to see any realistic solutions to climate change, the ones which do not expose you as a religious person who want to flagellate themself and still be a sinner?

    No. There will be no solutions. Those who can afford to will take measures to maintain their quality of life, those who can’t will suffer. This might change in a decade or two due to electorate and therefore representation turnover. Until then, you’re on your own. Edit: @thriftwy reply here because of comment throttling Will they though? Sounds like those folks are uniquely positioned to take the brunt of climate change. Hard to say who is going to a) still be living and b) have power that far out into the future. Long story short, do what you can with what you have where you are while staying emotionally healthy and grounded. That’s all that really can be done imho. Take care.

      Why all the endless bother across all Western media then? In a decade or two, most of world's electorate, in terms of energy production and manufacturing production capacity, will be people from China, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Brazil and the like. Iran, Uzbekistan and Tunisia. Maybe Nigeria or Congo. You will have to start climate change debate afresh because post-christian flagellation is starting on a seriously wrong foot when talking to these people (to whom I am not a complete stranger). The audience who is now receptive to climate change talks will be largely irrelevant.
