This comm is for news and discussions relating to the ongoing climate apocalypse. Both good and bad news.
I can sort of see the logic in this, controlling emissions takes time and is very hard to control and continuously monitor.
So the resources are better spent focusing on more modern, cleaner tech, which industry can use instead of simply making industry police itself.
That being said, it is unrealistic to just drop everything and say that the future will deal with it. That is part of how we ended up here.
You know the biggest steps we could take literally right now or any time in the past 150 years to reduce emissions?
Switch to trains and veganism.¹
The tech is not the problem.
The wealthy want a culling, because technology is do efficient that a great deal of the work force has been made redundant. They want us to do nothing about climate change because we have outlived our usefulness and they want to keep stringing us along until we fucking die so we dont kick them off their skull thrones.
So whose side are you on? Humanity and earth, or billionaires?
¹busses and vegetarianism still pretty good.
And billionaires are so separated from the concerns, needs, and worries of even people as rich as average millionaires that it boggles the mind. Bill Gates has no capacity to understand what the average person is going through and can't be trusted to lead when he's only leading from his own viewpoint.
