It gives us a bridge to figure out sequestration. Snapback is if we go from 100% to 0%, not just if we can't keep up with carbon emissions.

- estearum 9mo agoCan’t figure out carbon taxes today but thankfully we’ll have a knife’s edge to walk on total catastrophe until we figure out sequestration.
- whimsicalism 9mo agoi think we should be exploring all. carbon tax would be great, but currently seems politically impossible outside of Europe (and even challenging within)
- estearum 9mo agoYou’re missing the point: if we can’t find the political will to implement solutions today, why would we find the political will to implement solutions tomorrow?
- whimsicalism 9mo agobecause technological progress means things that were costly and expensive are easier in the future. imagine telling people to stop using gas in 1950. it would have been fully impossible, now avenues are opening up.
