    More of a thought experiment. I am contemplating how best to prevent the effects of climate collapse, as it’s one of the things I want to do with my life.

      You can’t.

      We can’t.

      Our world is changing and it can’t be stopped. Even if we were to magically halt emissions and use carbon capture to reverse what’s been done, the consequences that are already rolling in combination with the other effects of human civilization on earth will take millennia to reach some kind of equilibrium and involve large scale devastation.

      We can never recapture the past and our present is fleeting.

      What kind of future do you want?
