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.
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.
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

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.

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