On a personal level, if everyone reduced their CO2 emissions to 1T/yr I believe that would be a good start. This means what you'd expect: no car/air travel, go vegan, if you gotta buy furniture/clothes/etc buy used. These things are all trivial if you live in a city, but might be challenging for rural folk.

In theory it probably wouldn't, just as its not really feasible for motorism to disappear overnight, but "If no new clothes are produced how will newborn babies stay warm" is not such a pressing issue that it should discourage people from reusing clothes and reducing their waste & consumption.

I'm not suggesting we encourage divine worship. What I am proposing is we utilize an already existing network of communication. And also based on everything I've read Jesus is pretty cool. We need to comb the Earth searching for the only son of God in a real, physical sense until we find him. We will then convince the Christ (verified by various religions and DNA tests) of the gravity of situation facing all life on the planet, and he will speak from a position of authority to change the hearts and minds of billions. Many CEO's of the most polluting corporations identify as Christian, or at least are interested in maintaining a Christian consumer base. If climate change is to be addressed before the whole of civilization collapses, we have to utilize existing belief structures. It is impossible to change the entrenched world view of millions in the time-frame necessary to avoid catastrophe in any other way*. If we do not find Christ at least we can live with ourselves having done something. Edit:* im depressed lol fucked around with this message at 13:03 on Oct 2, 2018 |

We have many hundreds of years left in just the nuclear fuel we already have. We just use uranium very inefficiently because breeder reactors are banned for cold war reasons and because uranium is so comically cheap so it doesn't matter if we only use 2% of the energy then throw it away and get more so no one worries hard about wasting a hundred dollars of uranium metal in a billion dollar plant.

Then a low carbon footprint is a luxury good and by definition is not a personal choice for the majority of the population. They can't afford it. People can't control if what powers their home is a coal plant, or if they have to spend 2+ hours in a car because they can't afford to work and live in the same place.

Mata posted:Nearly everyone who lives in the west must lower their carbon footprint tremendously. We can't afford not to. Does that apply to the nearly 80% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck? My point is is that if people lowering their carbon footprints on an individual basis was a viable solution, it would have been done already. Bear in mind also that when we talk about individual carbon footprints, we're still negotiating on the margins. Just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of the carbon we've put into the atmosphere. https://www.theguardian.com/sustain...-climate-change Our problems are structural and if we have any hope of addressing climate change that structure has to be changed.

During the Rwandan genocide 250,000 refugees crossed a single bridge in 24 hours, on foot. With proper organization it's possible that all of New York's inhabitants could be evacuated to higher ground in as little as a week. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Lakes_refugee_crisis quote:On 28—29 April, 250,000 people crossed the bridge at Rusumo Falls into Ngara, Tanzania in 24 hours in what the UNHCR agency called "the largest and fastest refugee exodus in modern times".

I'm not saying that the logistics are impossible, but they would be absolutely massive and require a great deal of resources, planning, and regular drills for both emergency personnel and the citizenry so they know what to do. None of that happens by accident. If things go wrong or are never done in the first place millions of people will die. I seriously doubt any of that planning would be done and feel like said millions dying an unburried death is an unspoken part of the solution.

I seriously doubt any of that planning would be done and feel like said millions dying an unburried death is an unspoken part of the solution. Why would all of NYC need to be evacuated at once and quickly? That doesn't make sense. Even some superstorm wouldn't flood the entire metro, only the low lying areas. If we're talking about longterm changes like increasing mean high tides, then either we build the infrastructure to protect a populated area or those people are pushed out over the course of years. If we're talking doomsay food shortages or whatever, well not much use evacuating anywhere at that point if you can't feed the people centralized, you can't feed them dispersed. Edit: regardless, NYC is one of the cities leading the charge to respond and mitigate climate change. You know why? It is huge and rich as gently caress. Of course they're going to build the seawalls to protect Wall Street. Will there be poor neighborhoods hosed? Probably. But the city is responding to climate change.
