I am a climate realist. It has become apparent to me that the worst will be inevitable in the coming years and that climate change will take decades to reverse so my take is that climate policy should also prioritize adapting to this phenomenon while we still can.
We can look at hot dry regions in the past in order to learn how to deal with the heat while still conserving energy.
We need a bit more uh… Oomph than that. I say make building absorb less heat in the hot days while keep us warm in the colder ones will still conserving energy.
There is tons more we could do besides reforesting actually. If we stop using plastics, use more renewable forms of storage, increase access to plumbing so water in cans is not so much of a necessity, it would greatly help the pollution we get. Obviously fossil fuels and car usage is huge, but if we put all the population in cities the issue of cars would have to work itself out and we would probably end up with walkable megacities, with cars reserved for rural people who actually need to travel like that.
As in for disposable ones?
Yeah, but even the non-disposable ones don’t always seem ideal to be honest. Plastic in clothes makes an issue when it ends up being burned in landfills in Africa.
Yeah. Maybe plastic should be reserved for shit like phones. I miss this that’s made with long lasting materials like wood.
