Also it doesn't mean we should give up, just that we can't have a perfect solution anymore (maybe we never could..)
Jem Bendell wrote, that even though there is no hope, we have a moral obligation to try to curb our emissions. I agree with him, there is no hope at this point to stay under 2 degree. CO2 levels are growing ever greater rate and we are hitting so many tipping points and ocean acidification is approaching the critical levels that marine life will die off in droves. And other environmental problems that we are making worse by the minute.
Maybe it is undermining our faith in people, that we should cuddle them in hope to expect any action. Perhaps we should just ditch hope and try something else.
I absolutely agree with this. Hope isn't necessary, but I think it can keep you going. My general approach for the last 2 decades has been a kind of cynical optimism - hope for the best, expect the worst.
Also, there is so much we don't know about how humans can operate on the planet, it seems arrogant to assume you know what the exact outcome will be.
I appreciate your insight, though I disagree with notion that we do not know the outcome. I think the question is when rather than what will happen. We have accumulated so much knowledge and information, but the problem is that information does not transform into action. It is not only climate policy, but other environmental sectors as well.
But anyhow, it is nice to exchange views.
