It was stated as a causal relationship and reported in the news since the 19th Century. It was still denied by some, and ignored by most.

At some point we should probably start doing something – and enough – about it to maybe avoid the worst consequences?




Like locking ppl up at homes and make them stop driving cars, planes, boats?

Make them buy less because production is hindered due to various reasons and make them pay more for petrol and energy??

Hmm, Im curious whether we could do that on global scale. Maybe if there was some convinient way to tell ppl to stay at home.


The most meaningful step (that every politician manages to avoid) is to get rid of coal in energy production.

Putting money into solving Renewable intermitency (either through large scale storage projects or nuclear) and decommisioning every single coal plant on earth (followed closely by gas plants) would be the single largest step change in emissions that has fuck all to do with 'consumer' behaviour.
