I appreciate this comment. It's possible they're doing exactly their job but that it's not a job we need done.
The job we need done is rapid decarbonization. So how do we do that?
- emodendroket 3y agoThat’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? I feel like the biggest obstacle here is that any invocation of shared sacrifice or giving up forms of convenience, even fairly minor ones, prompts howls of indignation. Maybe we’re just doing some things we can’t do going forward even if it was comfortable to be able to do so.
- tito 3y agoStopping doing things we're doing today is one possibility. How are you going to do that?
- emodendroket 3y agoIf I were in charge I might institute rules controlling, for instance, how low one may set their thermostat, or banning new natural gas home appliances despite whatever boutique complaints people have about gas stoves. I doubt that goes far enough but the fact that this kind of stuff is so difficult/controversial feels like a massive obstacle.
