I think there are still lots of people holding out hope that we steer off the cliff, but meanwhile we're still globally using as much fossil fuels as we ever have and while there are things on the horizon the CO2 in the air is not going anywhere. So we are going to have major problems to deal with in terms of human sustainability even if we went 100% green today.
Humans are smart, we need time to change entire species to a more sustainable living. Time we just don't have. So it's time we skip the BS and start talking about where we are going to get water, how we are going to farm, how we are going to keep the oceans from destroying our coastlines etc..
If we start now we might be able to mitigate some of the effects of climate change or at the very least make it so not everyone just immediately loses all their assets and/or dies from lack of water or starvation.
Let's avoid mad max if we can.
I'm not saying we give up the fight on eradicating fossil fuels from our system, but I imagine the downvoters took my post that way. It's just if you spend about 10 seconds watching CNBC or listening to our politicians you'll find out pretty quick they don't care about climate change all that much. Just making money.. Even the politicians that do care the best they can do is try to help the "free market" move us to a sustainable future lol. Just not going to work.
We have some major water crisis going on right now in a lot of places in the US. Not just deserts. The water wars will be coming much sooner than we anticipated if we don't start to prepare for it.
