I agree in principle. The reason we are not doing this is because it would destroy the economy and when that happens basically everything falls apart. We would still have enough food and essentials for everyone but loads of people would be without jobs and others would lose billions of wealth.
A fully green economy might be possible in the far future but the transition seems like it is going to take a century or more.
- myshpa 3y agoWe should send people like you together with phone sanitizers to search for a new planet. You'll go first, the scientists will go in a second ship.
- goatlover 3y agoThis is a reddit-level comment.
- numbers_guy 3y agoI just explained why climate action is not being taken. I am not making any statement on the matter. And I don't know what phone sanitizers are.
- myshpa 3y agoI should not have reacted in the way I did, and for that I'm sorry. I've tried to debunk your comment, but it would take a long time, so I rewrote it instead. "We are not doing it so the nature will destroy the economy and when that happens basically everything falls apart. We then won't have enough food and essentials for everyone but loads of people would be without jobs and others would lose their homes, their livelihood or life even. A fully green economy could be right around the corner, but instead the transition seems like it is going to take a century or more, which is not enough time not to enter societal and environmental collapse, so it seems more like an extinction level event." > And I don't know what phone sanitizers are. We're their descendants. Rejoice, you're in for a treat ... I suggest to you ... The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. You'll enjoy it (the book, not the movie!).
