    I wonder what could help reduce our carbon emissions.

    At the moment I’m getting the feeling that only one, drastic, solution has a small chance in succeeding… a lot less humans on the earth (< 50%). The rest of nature is pretty busy trying to establish a new equilibrium until humans realize they are also a part of nature and nature isn’t the one in problems, but humans (as well as a lot of other species) are.

    For some strange reason (religion maybe?) humans think they’re not in the pool of biodiversity species.

      Only have to get rid of 1% or so to fix it. And it’s not the groups you’re dogwhistling genocide of because they contribute an order of magnitude less than you do.

        Oh, the top 1% will help a lot, but either way either ‘the west’ will need to lower their standard of living, or humanity needs to be culed like crazy.

        With the standard of living of US and Europe, the world can support about 1B humans. We all can do the math.
