Now understand that, just from excess emissions alone, we are adding at least four of those nuclear explosions worth of energy into the atmosphere.
Per second.
That’s right, per second.
There is no solving this without technology that would be indistinguishable from magic, so not happening. We had our chance, capitalism won, and those at the top are hoarding and preparing for what’s coming next.
Technology will keep developing in ways we can’t predict yet. I think it’s unlikely we can save all our even most of humanity, but you never know what will happen. There is already research being done into options for geo engineering and the way things are going they will probably end up being tried. Even though that’s already technically possible to most people that would still be like magic.
Respectfully, this is the sort of thinking and arguing that got us into this mess in the first place.
Even a cursory exploration of climate geoengineering leads to the conclusion that it’s impractical and inadequate.
The world really is dying. It will correct itself. We are just along for the ride now. This year will be the panic year (look at the arctic ice extent right now, look at the average sea temp, look at the average air temp, now realize we’re just exiting la nina and heading to el nino this year)
Sorry if I’m being blunt, but there really is no way to save ourselves other than using way less energy, and that’s not going to happen at this point.
It’s an energy problem, not a smarts problem.
Imagine the Hiroshima bomb.
How much energy that contains.

Remember that we have technology that 100 years ago would have been indistinguishable from magic.
That’s an assumption that math and physics doesn’t support.
There is no infinite well of technology and efficiency for us to draw from.
That’s not to say we can’t find things that will help a lot, we should, but they won’t save us.
I made a statement about the past. No assumptions we made.
You weren’t implying by saying that, that we could possibly have the magic technology to save ourselves 100 years from now? Sorry if I misunderstood.

Good luck out there! Live for today!
looks a solar panels
Yep, magic right there.
Sees nuclear power plants
What sorcery is this?!
Observes EVs, heat pumps, biofuels…
Mysteries beyond the comprehension of man!
