>>40797868>I said a working solutionI gave you several. These are things we can do with tech that exists right now. The problem is that you're confusing "doable" with "perfect in every way with no downsides" Meanwhile, you've got no big solutions at all. You're contributing nothing. Your big solution is to keep on keeping on, which, whether they act on it or not, literally every country in the world INCLUDING CHINA AND INDIA, acknowledge isn't viable.
>It'll take centuries for the ice caps to finish melting, One, no. Two, the ice caps will be the fucking LEAST of our problems by that point. Inside 50 years, widespread drought and extreme weather will cause biblical refugee migrations and global infrastructure collapse, if war doesn't do it first (and at this rate, it probably will). Inside 100 years, Mad Max won't be a movie. Inside 150, we'll be in a new dark age, and inside 200, if every human isn't dead, the handful that remain will wish they were.
AND THEN the ice caps will melt.
Here's the thing though, right.
Let's say I'm completely wrong, and climate chainge is, in fact, a hoax. It's not, but let's say for the sake of argument that it is.
We all know that fossil fuel is finite, right? There's only so much of it in the world.
And though we know how much we have, and can make estimates and deductions about how much is still in the earth, unless we can get Superman himself to use his X-ray vision and look down, we'll never really know, right? For all we know, we could reach the bottom of the barrel tomorrow.
What then? What happens when we run out? When we know how long before we run out? Do you think we're gonna stop and go "Okay! We had a good run! Time to switch on the windfarms!"
Fuck no. It'll be the worst war humanity has ever and will ever see. And the winner of that war will be the country whose the least dependent on that fuel. So just knowing that, why haven't we switched over already?
