    Climate change will kill q huge part of the world population within the next 50 years and we’ve known about it being a thing for over a hundred years and yes nobody could be arsed to stop it.

    And stop it was literally what they could do. Cars could have gone for electric much sooner. Public transportation should have been much, much bigger. Bicycle first cities

    So much that could have been done but wasn’t done because that would not make a select view anti social rich

    Soon most of us will.doe from climate change effects

      You think electric cars are some sort of solution? They are part of the problem, not the solution. Making things worse but not quite as quickly is not making things better.

      Truth is we could never stop it without radical global abolition of high energy activities. That’s impossible given the short term gains of breaking ranks and the unpopularity of that level of denial. We didn’t have to destroy ourselves as quickly, but the path was set when we had the industrial revolution.

      Humans as a whole can’t be ask to do even the smallest changes. What if you ate less meat? I’LL EAT ONLY MEAT NOW.
