I'm not saying we shouldn't try. Far from it. But activism is not really the answer. We must focus on real science, slowly reduce unnecessary consumption because any energy and material and fabrication will pollute, test pilot programs, you know, practical things. Not screaming "JUST STOP OIL!" or even positive stuff like the article says. I'm confident we'll get through this even if with scars. But it will be hard, it will take time, it will take scientists and engineers and it will take sacrifices. It will not take activism.

Yes I hear what you're saying. I guess the real problem is we've been trying the 'slow and steady' approach for the past 50 years or so, and still we're facing a 2 degree future. And things are definitely getting worse. Much worse. So do we continue trying something which clearly doesn't work - your 'practical' things - or accelerate the pace somehow? I don't have answers, but clearly something is not working right now.
