Yeah, poor kids.

Their generation may want to think very long and hard about of they want children themselves. Do you want to have children in this world that has been turned into a pressure cooker by the past few generations?

Climate change, global warming, is a process that took centuries to get where it’s at now. It will take a similar amount of time to bring it back to where it started. We’ve know the basics of it for over a century now. We’ve known it is shit hitting the fan for at least 50 years.

We. Did. Nothing.

Well more precisely, politicians didn’t do anything because we have to pay CEOs and shareholders.

Change the fucking economy rules. We need capitalism, but we need it to have the hell restricted out of it. Not tomorrow, today.

And even if we do that, be prepared:

If we deadstop tossing CO2 into the atmosphere tomorrow, we’re still fucked for centuries to come. Think mass starvation due to food baskets baking and no longer being able to produce the food required to feed the world. We still might not make it at all.

If we start pulling CO2 from the atmosphere (ONLY a viable solution once ALL power generation is renewable or nuclear) we’re still fucked. It will take decades to centuries still to do this, and we’ll have to spend 30-50% of the world’s energy budget to do this.

We WILL have to resort to atmospheric engineering Ona global scale. If done right, it will cause problems but resolve the worst of global warming long enough to keep us alive.

The way that I see that happening is that some “leader” will want to make the history books, he will hear some bullshit and ignore scientists on how to do this the right way, he will do it his way and end up saving killing half the people on the planet.

I am really starting to wonder if humanity should be alive at all. 20% of humans are great, 79% are just living their lives, 1% fuck it up for everyone and EVERYONE LETS THEM
