About our only actual hope is a MASSIVE switch to nuclear power across the world and most cars switching to electric. And even then, we would need to address cow farts, industry, the burning of forests along with a host of our sources of greenhouse gasses. And even then we have missed our target goals by a mile so the globe will still heat up to disastrous levels.
It’s almost guaranteed that one of the larger countries with more population at risk from climate change will perform some unilateral attempt at geo-engineering, which could be either very good or very bad.

Even if it wasn’t the most expensive and second most stupid form of power generation there is, it’d be a 50+ year “solution” (at the very least) for a 10 year problem. Look at the actual current project times for single new reactors, and then factor in every industrial nation trying to build a massive amount of them at the same time competing for a very limited amount of people who know how to do that.
It’s interesting that you envision this radical change and still think people should be driving cars. EVs are a solution to keep the auto industry going in the face of scrutiny, not a reasonable response to climate change.
I am talking about what’s realistically feasible with current attitudes and infrastructure and lack thereof, I get how rail is the socialist utopia dream, but we’re about as far from light rail and walkable cities in the US as we are from motherfucking FOOD REPLICATORS.
Also:
It’s interesting that you
Just fuck right off with that internet chud language.
It’s no smaller thing to build infinite nuclear power than it is to build railways and walkable cities etcetera, quite the opposite.

You’re right, it was not an interesting opinion at all. But it seemed more rude and confrontative to lead with calling it a deranged fantasy cosplaying as realism.

Happy to hear I was able to offend either way 👍
