I might just be overly pessimistic but I honestly think it’s already too late to fully avert a climate crisis. Over here in the UK we have just had our hottest May on record at over 35 degrees Celsius. 35 C, in the middle of May, in the fucking United Kingdom is not normal under any definition of the word. We’ve gone from being memed on for it constantly raining to having water droughts in summer.
Despite that, everyone is addicted to LLMs, our public transport is like something from the 1940s and Nigel Farage who is almost certainly going to be our next prime minister wants to scrap net zero. All this to say, I’m not very optimistic.
If Reform UK think immigration is too high now then wait until half the planet is uninhabitable.
It definitely is. We are getting hothouse Earth and it'll be worse then predicted. Humans will be lucky to not go extinct in the next millennia imo. Warming is going ridiculous and so many resources are already depleted. You can't "go out west" and live off the land, it's already been plundered. We make up like 90% of the biomass.
There isn't really any frontier to be uncovered or opened up, but there is quite a lot of lawn grass, monocrop farmland, and less-than-ideal* land out there.
*the 8 degree slopes and creeks that make porky say oof ouch owie i can't build a subdivision there
We are all dogs in God's hot car
