Even if we had net zero emissions starting now, the planet would continue warming for well past that time frame. Yay. If you want significant negative emissions, you'd need to do shit like grow millions of tons of trees and then bury them.

I'm talking about this particular problem. To avoid this, you'd need to rapidly remove enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere to stop additional warming. Just freezing things at the current level results in a couple centuries of continued climate change, which is well beyond the timeframe given here for Atlantic current collapse. Stopping things from getting even worse is good, but for this, you'd want people to assume this is happening no matter what and start working on ways to deal with it. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.

This type of attitude just contributes to the existing lack of effort to change anything and it benefits the right wing / big business greatly, since it helps spread apathy over change while the same old assholes get richer without having to care about long-term consequences.

HeeathLivesOn 07/30/23 8:50:41 AM #67:	Anyways, the way you fix the problem of the very rich and powerful abusing the population / trashing the world for their own benefit is actually the same way you solve the majority of issues plaguing society - by stopping or limiting their influence in politics, which in America would mean stopping or destroying the Republican party. The Republican party is already in a death spiral, but it'll take too long for it to occur naturally, so if we want to actually see things like living wages, social equality, protecting the environment / etc any time soon, we should proactively speed up the demise of the party of big business interests. Even regular citizens can help beyond voting by spreading the word to those they know. In other words, you can actually 'solve' our issues with proactively damaging the environment without actually having to specifically attack the problem. You can just oust conservatives and we'd naturally start moving in the correct direction on the majority of issues. --- 'Just sitting around the house tonight w my dog.

Humanity as a whole is constantly in "Fuck you I do what I want!" mode This attitude is largely caused by the heap of other negative social/economic influences we're feeling, almost solely due to politics sponsored by the rich and powerful (if America, then the Republican party).
