Subject: RE: BS: climate crisis - how do we go from here?
The destination is obvious, leave the oil in the ground and bite the bullet of limited energy supply as renewables catch up with demand. But the trillion dollars a year that big oil makes is a behemouth that uses its money to control politics and finance. They can pay off every scientist in the world. We can buy time if we sacrifice as India and China catch up and move away from coal, then share the new energy solution that has not yet been invented.

What has been invented is putting enough reflective material in the stratosphere to reflect enough heat and hope to arrive at the proper global thermostat setting. But that diminishes solar collection and undoing the process may prove impossible.

For every tenth degree increase climate extreme events increases by 20%.
Self reliance is our job so
in the meanwhile compost - no fertillizer and no tilling. Keep mycellium alive. Use as little gas as possible. Whether we win or lose we will suffer so suffer as gladly as possible.
