Coming soon: 100% renewable power

25. No, realism is better than mindless anything.

We have already put an extra 110 ppm of CO2 in the atmosphere. It's already killing American, British, Russian, Chinese and Australian crops. The oceans are turning into carbonic acid that's dissolving the corals. There is no way to reverse it. We have screwed the soils, destroyed the forests, and there are at least four times too many of us on the planet. Air, earth and water are three of the ancient elements, and we have damaged them all with the fourth element, fire.

Start from that point, acknowledge it, take responsibility for it. Figure out for yourself how it happened and WHY we did it. Once you have done that, you will know enough about the problem to decide if your proposed solutions will make things better or worse, or just kick the can down the road a bit.

We are in a planet-sized world of hurt, and we're running out of both resources and time. It would be a very bad idea to waste our remaining time and resources on things that won't help - no matter how noble your intentions might be.

You might well ask what I propose instead of joining with Mark Z. Jacobsen in clapping for Tinkerbell. Well, as unpalatable as it will seem to you, my proposal is that we work together to collapse the global economy. That is the only thing that will stop the carbon-fueled juggernaut in its tracks.

The Only Thing That Will Stop Global Warming Is A Massive Economic Downturn
