  Net zero is a lie that is impossible to achieve with the stated methods, in the timescale necessary to avert disaster.

  We’re hitting 2-3c above the 20th average by 2050 —agriculture will collapse and billions will stave, hyperinflation, resource wars, wet-bulb heatwaves that kill millions — all are highly probable. Plan accordingly, don’t have kids, etc.

  People need to start accepting the necessity of geoengineering. Net zero by 2050 is a pure fantasy.

    Do you know how easy geoengineering is to fuck up? And how global and severe the consequences are if we do? Plus, geoengineering is the kind of thing one country, or a billionaire moron on a private island, could do, and kill us all. I’m not saying there’s no place for geoengineering, only that the only reasonable place for it is after pretty much everything else has failed. We really don’t need or want The Year Without A Summer on repeat for decades.

      And what are the consequences of failing to deal with climate change? At some point, the option becomes unavoidable.
