said it once will say it again
we can hate Greta all we want but she is ultimately right. the hate thrown at her is the result of reluctance to admit it.
climate change is real. its a real thing and caused by humans.
its more than c02. other chemicals in the atmosphere at various heights will effect things too.
it wont be the biggest issue of our lifetimes, which sets the unfortunate precedent that humans wont do anything to change our trajectory. it will affect generations from now onward
the bigger and more current issue, which isn't quite climate change, is the habitat devastation we created for our world, both for the natural world and the remaining world for us.
i also will say nobody is making good strides toward improving it - i.e., the green 'movements' are nothing more than cash grabs in a new goldrush. no 'movement' such as the pursuit of lithium and other 'renewables' are 'carbon negative' or otherwise good for the environment. The inverse is true - more extraction, more emissions (especially short term carbon emissions).
the true solutions unfortunately involve heavily reducing our overall economy - producing less, and trading local. of course if rail, truck, boat, and air transit largely went away then there goes the economy we have enjoyed for the past ~100 years.
the funny part to me still stands - this will actually correct itself, for the benefit of the planet and the despair of humanity. we will run the course, more or less, until we no longer can. as we pass peak oil and new reserves become harder to access (of ALL materials, not just crude oil) there will be dramatic price increases across the board. We will continue until we no longer can, but the economy will suffer cascading failures. human ingenuity is what we like to assign for our ~200 year boom in productivity, GDP, solving issues, etc, but we really owe it all to energy, and we have used more of it every year since we started burning oil.
