    Human problems have human solutions.

    Renewables are already cheaper than fossil fuels, it just takes time for the economics to shake out.

    Plenty of jobs in a clean economy as well.

      …it just takes time…

      Yeah, that’s the thing the scientists are saying we’re running out of though.

          The effects from about 250 years of industrialization sure did compound, huh?

          So we’ll compound more and be right on track in what, 300-350 years?

              If industrialization wasn’t global surely the effects of it weren’t global either 🤡

                Upgrade your reading comprehension 🤡

                Where did the industrial revolution start?

                It was not global from 1760 to 1820 ya jabroni

                Renewables are being implemented in a far wider geographic than the Industrial Revolution was is my point

                  My point is the implications of the industrial revolution don’t stop at national borders.

                  You don’t need every country to emit pollution when they all share the same atmosphere.

                  And it’s overwhelmingly likely that the rollout of renewables and environmentally responsible infrastructure won’t happen everywhere at once. It begins in the countries with the ability and materials to produce such systems.

                  Do you have a map of existing renewable use per capital to see if my opinion is accurate or are you just going to be a massive prick?

          Dooming is like porn to these people man. They don’t care about the realities at all, and only are interested in this article because it helps them feel bad.

          Doomers just aren’t worth it.

            I just got a job in agtech that mitigates climate change specifically so I didn’t have to live with existential dread

            Life’s too short to spend it worrying
