Imagine trying to explain a cell phone to someone in the 1920's

imagine trying to explain to them how to fix nitrogen for fertilizer. oh wait, that's right, the Haber process was invented in 1909 and we've haven't come up with anything better cause technology still isn't magic.

we already have the cowtools to survive even the most outlandish climate doomsday theories.

worst case we trigger venus (which is the inevitable end state of earth anyways, the question is only a matter of when). we literally don't have the cowtools to survive that.

it hurts talking to r-slurs.

If worst came to worst with major resources we could probably build a generational ship right now. Easy in 50 years.

Not that it matters because we are talking about a slight change in temperature and a few extra storms every year by any reasonable prediction.

you realize that self-sustaining biosphere experiments have so far failed.

delaying climate change doens't require any serious unknowns, but ya major resources would be needed. sooner than later for it to be meaningful.

The only time it's been meaningfully tried with humans was 25 years ago, but you can easily make one in a jar. The collective scientific minds of the modern world could easily figure it out.

sure man, keep betting on magical unknowns instead of solving knowns, that's surely the true path to sustainability. go drink you soylent.

I'm not betting on unknowns lmao the entire idea of needing a generational ship is unbelievably removed from reality. I'm just saying that we could probably do it. What I know is that we have AC and heaters so climate change is nbd.

Adjusting over time will be much easier than suddenly trying to shift our entire economy.

Also see my Ukraine war post I literally don't care lol

Lol you think building space colony-esque habitats to survive as a civilisation on our home planet is easier than making people use solar power?!

lol as if a greedily disorganized economy of blatant ignorance could ever even begin to shift. pure comedy gold right there.

Youre right that we wouldnt survive that, but it doesnt matter cause that will never happen until the sun swallows us.
