The consequences of "just shutting of coal" right now would be blackouts. People would riot and people would die. It would kill any support for climate action.

- hackable_sand 2y agoU so right Let's just do nothing now and leave it for later :)
- adrianN 2y agoNo, what we need to do now is not "just shut off electricity lol". It's building carbon free alternatives as quickly as we can.
- hackable_sand 2y agoHomie You flinched. But you came through.
- immibis 2y agoExactly. We have to choose between everyone dying and everyone rioting.
- adrianN 2y agoNo, there are more options. In fact it’s rather impossible to choose „everybody is rioting“ in democratic countries, and very difficult in dictatorships.
