      It’d be easier & cheaper to fix this one.

      We’re going to have to break a few eggs though, since we waited so long.

      By eggs I mean multinational corporations.

        Some scientists theorize we’ve already passed the red line. The rest is just crowd control. Those eggs are gonna be broken but they’re probably gonna be a few billion people. Best to plan for the worst, hope for the best and doing both climate science and technical advances towards colonization.

        It’s not like the research and funding needs to go to one or the other. Never understood that argument, like what 10,000s of astrophysicists and engineers are just gonna be like “yeah let’s all stop or research today to save humanity” lmao.

          Really? Automobile is plenty deserving, and shooting it means people have better options than flying for a lot of trips.
