Humanity will likely survive climate change.
I like your optimism, but I don't share it. We honestly don't know, one way or the other. What we do know is that human extinction in on the table and growing in probability. When I look at human actions as our cumulative knowlegde of these risks grew, well, I'm not exactly confident our species will make it.
It's where I go to cry when it's not raining. :(
It's ok. I'm already terrified.

All's fair in love and war.
Is it viable?
If your opponent's use of the LEO space and satelites is more effective, more critical and beneficial to their operations than yours by a wide enough degree, then yes, scortched space is viable.
I'm not fully boycotting them, but they are my grocer of last resort. My #1 is a local ethnic grocer with 3 locations. #2 are local bakeries and independants. #3 are sobeys/metro owned and last is Weston.
I'm blessed with options.
There are many unpleasant IT costcutting conversations to have.
I thought it was denial of capacity. Satellites loaded with small ball bearings wrapped around high explosives to not only destroy satellites in a short term low orbit version of kessler syndrome, but to keep LEO full of satellite destroying shit for a while to deny relaunching new satellites.
A 500km orbit like Starlink means unassisted objects can stay up for almost 10 years. Long enough for war, short enough to not permanently damage space.
Doing the right thing is always de-rigeur. Fuck Trump and Fuck the US.
Because we forgot how effective public lynchings can be.
I'm aware. I'm well informed. I don't think there is anything new anyone could say that could terrify me any more than I already am. Now it's just the creeping and leaping realization that our fears were correct as events prove worse than our models predicted.
