  • dont disrupt the 99%'s way of life.

    This is ridiculous, because the problem inherently requires cooperative change, and as we’ve seen people will throw shitfits over things as small as plastic straws.

    A big thing would be to start switching from ever expanding auto infrastructure to public transit systems where possible.

    1. Fewer vehicles that transport more people
    2. Can use the space that is currently occupied for parking cars better

    Another big thing requires changing our diets. Some types of food are more resource intensive than others, but also we ship food all over the planet and the resources for transport also contributes. Eating food that is in season on your continent would make a big difference.

    The last thing is maybe the least obvious to regular people, but maybe we don’t need to build that data center yet if we can’t power it without fossil fuel. We need to entirely stop expanding energy usage until we’ve switched over entirely to sustainables.

    In summary, basically everything that needs to happen is going to affect regular people, and they’re going to have to get over it, or we’re going to make the planet completely unlivable.


  • Your point? Climate change has the potential to affect every living thing on the planet. Even the horrors of world war 2 didn’t have that kind of reach. Additionally, humans eventually have to stop fighting when enough of them are dead. Climate change is a threat that humanity can unleash but be potentially unable to stop. Like I said, a different kind of beast.
