Technically, we could all collectively decide we have had enough. We won't, but we could.

I'm not even sure that's enough. Some tipping points are already reached and the CO2 that's already in the atmosphere won't magically disappear because we don't add more.

Keep that in mind when you hear that the emission is still rising exponential

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we'll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of "carbon capture" that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the "pork barrel spending".

I suggest making sure you have an "exit plan" for when it get worse than you'd like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won't mention them explicitly.

Even if we replaced all energy production "magically" with solar/wind/tidal, we'll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!

If you're going to take an "exit plan" there are a lotnof revolutionary ways to go about it

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

Sorry, maybe I was ambiguous. The violent/revolutionary approaches would be to achieve some sort of climate recovery, which might obviate needing an "exit plan".

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah but most climate scientists say every little bit helps, so if we could just do a lot of bits maybe we won't all have to die.

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, every little bit might help, if we are not already dead.

But if we aren't willing to end capitalism and exterminate the scum who did this, and can not will not stop, nothing matters for shit.

Like putting a hand aid on a bisection wound with intestines leaking out.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

People's initiative? We have the tools. Let's start.

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

True, I didn't want to sound as a doomer. Every little bit helps in the sense of harm reduction. This isn't black or white. Actually white is long over. It's dark gray or black and I'm willing to fight for dark gray.
