I know this isn't a revelation or anything, but it's slowly occurring to me that a big part of the problem is that policy doesn't and can't happen on graphs. If you made policy based on graphs, you could look at an existentially terrifying line and say "oh, we need to do something" and then do it. But you can't. Useful policy can't really happen because of capital's death drive anyway, but even without that, we'd only respond to the real world events that occur after the graph has already done its thing and moved on to new and horrifying heights.

All these graphs are just climate change doing a little victory lap. It's saying look at me, I've already killed you, and by the time most people are scared, I'll have already found an even newer and more exciting way to kill more people.

I mean yeah. I feel like it's fairly hard to overstate the growth-driven nature of every aspect of society. Everything is more since 2000 and it all uses incredible amounts of energy.

So you know how the michelin stars were based off "how the gently caress can we sell more tires we should put out a book that has food recommendations" because they're not just selling tires they're selling freedom of travel to random towns.

In a world with no cars again and barely any trains it would be a loving apocalypse for the middling-rich. Can anyone seriously imagine the reactions if fuel ever had to be rationed or if it was $40 a gallon? $400? They'd be baying for blood. You couldn't get cheap garbage delivered, even. Amazon would collapse along with its namesake.

Any country that planned ahead for this could actually consider playing the psycho realpolitik card and letting the liberals riot to death, but idk how well that would work tbh

Not to mention your average just getting by rear end in a top hat who's pretty much already dead

How would you even shepherd a society through the changes needed to get down to 70s emissions? 60s? 30s? How do you get off the sauce, seriously?

It's the same problem reformers have on the international level - how do you not get couped by the CIA or regime changed by the USN when you do {thing} that would make wealthy westerners less powerful in your nation?
