- stop fossil fuels in transport & energy, minimize plastic production
- stop subsidizing meat & dairy, reform agriculture (pollution, eutrophication, soils)
- reforest / rewild pastures, stop overfishing (carbon capture, biodiversity)
- degrowth & basic income, remove financial drivers of exponential growth (prevent repetition)
ASAP everything, 2050 is too late.
The tyrants always sell themselves as the answer to the apocalypse. Everyone you know is going to die. Society is always heading towards multiple kinds of total destruction. Anyone who uses that to try to take control of us is a tyrant. We shouldn’t sacrifice society at the feet of fear, especially to the very people in charge of the factories and industries causing the problems.
I don’t deny global warming. But I don’t believe the people claiming to have the answers and I’m not willing to follow Hitler logic to take people back to the Stone Age as the “solution” to the problem because I read books (and you shouldn’t either).
But I guarantee you others will put this forward as the “inevitable logic” or “nature will do it for us if we don’t sacrifice everything” as if technology has done nothing and we can’t possibly come back into balance with nature without utterly obliterating human civilization. It’s actually kind of batshit.
Nuclear anyone? No?
One option is much better than the other.
