Sure, but it is important to litigate the truth of climate doom! And doomerism is often about rationalizing why it's worse than it actually is

Climate scientists are pretty doomer at this point tbqh www.theguardian.com/environment/...

also I'm not sure what metrics you're using to say things are "better" because the world co2 output is still at a record high every year and every ecosystem on the planet is on the brink of collapse.

We've likely hit peak emissions this year and decarbonization is rapidly accelerating.

Read my point about derivatives, there is stunning progress in technology lowering emissions and a whole lot more to come very soon. Things aren't good! But real reasons for hope.

I think this is where we're gonna have a fundamental difference because like the entire world knows how to solve climate change and environmental destruction and actively chooses not to do it because it would impact profits, and I don't think a tech savior product is going to fix things.

It could be that climate change isnt a moral lesson about profits though

I think if Paul Schrader wanted to make a movie about how profits conflict with mitigating climate change he would've made the protagonist a businessman or a scientist instead of a reverend

it..kinda is though, the oil companies hid everything they knew about climate change to protect their wealth, we strip mine the earth and destroy the ecosystems holding everything together so we can sell endless products to produce endless profit etc

like the resistance to doing anything about climate change really entirely boils down to "I should be allowed to pillage the entire Earth for profit"

That is not where the resistance is concentrated, no

Right but we live in the real world so it is quite possible that both slowing climate change and mitigation will come hand in hand with fat profits

mitigating the symptoms of the disease of exploitation might be better, but it's still bad and going to kill the Earth long term. I'd recommend this for why relying on profit driven businesses to solve the problem ain't going to work. youtu.be/Zk11vI-7czE

The key counterclaims, every one a lie, are: -CC isn't happening -CC isn't bad -our actions have nothing to do with it -the scientists are still debating it -It doesn't matter what action we try to take anyway
