Any solution to climate change will take decades to implement. There is no turning this around quickly. CFS are working on their first prototype reactor to be finished within a few years, but their factory to begin mass producing will take another decade. It is of course possible CFS will fail. However they have been on track for a while now. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4&pp=ygUhZGVubmlzIHdoeXRlIGZ1c2lvbiAgYnJlYWt0aHJvdWdo https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4&pp=ygUhZGVubmlzIHd...

We don't have decades.

  The decades will pass whether we will it or not. I doubt we will all be dead in some cataclysmic event until then. Put in the work and hope for the best. What else is there?

    > I doubt we will all be dead in some cataclysmic event until then. Please don't derail the topic. Your first comment on this thread was a response to DoingIsLearning's prediction: "Start suing start and start lobbying. It is pretty much the only thing left bar from going full eco terrorist (which I believe is entirely likely in our current timeline)." That isn't a claim or concern that there will be cataclysmic event. Think more like 'Weather Underground'-style bombings on local gas stations. BTW, the way you wrote it makes it appears that you only care about yourself, and don't care if a cataclysmic event affects your children or any others who come after you. You might want to think of a better way to phrase your argument.

> Any solution to climate change will take decades to implement. There is no turning this around quickly. Certainly. But your assertion was it's "Better to work on solutions, like fusion power and battery technology for electric transport" than follow the alternatives of "legal action and eco terrorism". Are you really arguing we should do nothing until technology solves things for us? If so, that sounds like the "Parable of the drowning man" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_drowning_man https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_drowning_man - your faith in unproven future technology seems indistinguishable from prayers.

  No, I am saying you should not be hoping someone else fixes the problem but that you join in and be a part of the solution. Helping develop fusion power and battery technology are just two examples. You could become a wind turbine technician as another example(if you think wind power is good for the environment).

    "legal action" does not mean "hoping someone else fixes the problem". Nor, for that matter, is so-called "eco terrorism." Why aren't both part of the solution? > are just two examples I wrote "until technology solves things for us" to include the wider range of possibilities you mean, rather than two limited examples.
