What kind of metric even is that? What does it even mean, Google doesn't say anything.
When I clicked on "How do you feel" about my Earth footprint, it presents me only with the choices: Shocked, Inspired, Helpless, Intrigued, Worried, Embarrassed and Confused. Nice propaganda, but I feel okay about myself. If this is in any way accurate and what I'm doing is too much for the climate to handle then I officially don't care about the climate. I'm not going to just roll over and die for the greater good, sorry.
As a bonus, I throw in a recently fired MA official, saying that most emissions come from residential heating and they need to "break our will" for doing that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muxVGmgykA4
If your lifestyle needs 2 earths that point will be hit for the whole earth pretty soon.
Wars are the most likely outcome. The first world will have to maintain their living standards by force and keep out the climate refugees.
> Wars are the most likely outcome.
Yes, that should go without saying. Not cooperation, but endless wars between nations over scarce resources. Or being subjegated by the world elites and basically soviet style communism. Millions starved to death, because one commissar decided that one particular country eats too much and it's bad for the climate. Assuming any of this is true, which I'm told it is.
I went back and adjusted the responses to get 1 earth level, and the result is ridiculous. There’s zero chance we’ll convince 7+ billion people to be zero-waste vegans who live crammed into a tiny apartment and essentially never travel anywhere. And I don’t think we need to! Even assuming their math is correct (of which I’m highly suspect), why should we accept that the solution is to roll over and die (as you nicely put it) rather than improve agricultural methods, energy generation efficiency and sustainability, transportation efficiency, policies that fail to discourage inefficiency, etc, etc, etc. It’s such a thoughtless and uninspired (and uninspiring) take.
edit: ok, after poking around a bit more it seems their proposed solutions are more inline with common sense than it appeared initially. But wow what a terrible way to communicate and inspire people.
