I think we’re fucked. Human nature, slow governments, apathy and disbelief mean we will not overcome climate change.
Best brace for the impacts in all practical ways. It will not go away and will only get worse.
what a suprise the people going to climate meetings on their private jets where they make eachother feel good about themselves are not helping the climate
Oh boy I can’t wait for hard decarbonization. Yee haw.
Is that when carbon based life goes extinct?

Yes but only the weird lanky monkeys.
you can ‘expand’ local production to decrease reliance on foreign sources and still also decrease overall consumption.
The issue is that especially oil is a globally traded commodity. So increasing local production means you buy less from abroad and that means lower prices, so others are more likely to buy it.
Also the money can be used to invest into green infrastructure as well.
The Russian war of Genocide rejiggered the entire planets energy sourcing, and though we’re decades past where renewable energies could, and should have already taken over for Fossil fuels everywhere, the old systems of profit couldn’t rejigger themselves quick enough to benefit from the change, and so it’s back to fossil fuels, planet be damned
