- JumpCrisscross 11mo agoThis is the sweet summer child thinking that lead to protests in Canada and France. The people whose livelihoods are tied up in these industries will not go quietly. Even if their oligarchs are defanged.
- naIak 11mo agoIs this the usual "we must stop the big corporations" argument, pretending that those who work at them and those who depend on their products will not complain? Or maybe you are thinking concentration camps and mass graves.
- FridayoLeary 11mo agoSo covid lockdown?
- Aloisius 11mo agoYeah and then we'd face a global economic depression and mass civil unrest since those major emissions are emitted while doing things like distributing goods like food.
- downrightmike 11mo agoBro, we already are there... and the 3,100 are at the front of the parade to get there
- Aloisius 11mo agoWhat we have now is nothing compared to what would happen. We expect large scale displacement and resource wars, but over the course of decades which gives people to adjust. What you're describing would, by contrast, would kill hundreds of millions of not billions of people in a few years or more realistically, cause extreme levels of violence to undo it. Indeed, I imagine anyone who actually managed to do such a thing would be violently murdered by the public and their death celebrated for centuries.
