Climate change at a high level is quite simple: it is the major side defect of coal and petroleum use. Alternative power blah blah -- until petro use is severely reduced climate will worsen (not that AE is not necessary).

Halted tomorrow, the existing carbon in the atmosphere will still increase heating.

So we need to first essentially halt petro production, then some magic futuricians will figure out how to remove carbon.

But we have a planet full of corporations that already do terrible things to us if rate-of-increase of growth/profit isn't upward, never mind stop.

Am I reading this wrong?

Most of my local friends think I'm being all cynical'n'shit. That what's the point of living then?

Not that way to me at all.

First off, you have to actually accept that a problem exists before you do anything. Like, embrace it's terrifying reality.

THEN decide -- OK, what now?
