    I was going to present a partial rebuttal invoking politics but then I saw that this is !upliftingnews@lemmy.world.

    Another positive is that we humans are highly adaptive. We’re already making a lot of changes towards renewables and improving the efficiency and reliability of our electric grids and other large infrastructure. Climate change definitely brings a ton of challenges with it (and some of the changes have already taken place) but I think it also gives us new opportunities such as longer growing seasons up North.

      Some humans are more adaptive than others. The ones that have been sitting around with their heads in the sand aren’t going to survive.

        Whether or not people survive is going to depend a lot on luck, unfortunately. People in low-lying third world countries are gonna be in the tightest spot.

      I don’t think healthy skepticism is forbidden here, so feel free to write your rebuttal.

        She is right, but the thing thats missing is that this isnt co2 you will keep in a container in your garage. So if I dont use a petrol car, this doesnt remove the petrol. It just means someone else will burn it.

        Unless there is supply-side constraints or CO2 capture this has 0 effect
