    It speaks volumes about humanity, that the solution to climate change is fucking around with nature, fully knowing, that fucking around with nature is the root cause of the issues to begin with

      It’s more that the scientists are so out of hope that we will stop using fossil fuels that they are desperate to find another solution.

          You really think that half the humans on this planet make the conscious choice to destroy it every single day? That’s a pessimistic take if you ask me. People do what they have to to get by. Yes, there are small things that a lot of people could do to make a difference, but the leaders and capitalists that stand to make profit from destroying the Earth are the ones to blame. The consumer can demand changes, but until mandates motivate companies consumers are bound to buy things that they can afford. I’ve never been on a cruise because I think it’s terrible for the environment, and I only eat meat (chicken,turkey, or pork) once a day, but the train keeps barrelling on.

      With feedback loops already started there is no other way. Emissions need to be drastically cut and geo-engineering will be necessary to interrupt those feedback loops.
