Oh no, they're not just going to let it happen. They'll actively stop us from solving it.

I bought this stock from a company called planter or something, it's going crazy lately

I don’t care where that money comes from.

Unless it's renewable energy tech, then fuck it, those shitheads can rot in hell!

Well im not having solar panels near my town. They'll absorb all the sunlight and it'll be dark!

Windmills slow the planet down!!!

But wouldn't it be nice if there was more time in a day?

But the windmills will kill all the birds (that there are none left of)!

Not real ones, anyway

And they'll put more of us on the planet too, because it's so wonderful here.

Solving? There's an undeniable solution that has been there as long as the problem has

I'm in favor of completely remove the humans. We should have the tech already.

That would help, but definitely not stop climate change.

Sure, taking your foot off the accelerator doesn't technically stop the car.

Either you ration things that warm the planet, or you find a way to cool it directly? Neither of these options can be done at a large enough scale.

Humans have never been good at constraining cultures that gorge on a limited buffet of resources.

[–] Cruel@programming.dev 1 points 3 days ago

Implementing climate control will be costly and is still controversial, especially proposed solutions that require polluting the stratosphere with chemicals.

I'm still optimistic about geoengineering research.

Of course, nobody will want to foot that bill until they're staring the threat in the eyes.

There's a pretty public list of who owns the most resources
