  • 1 - Not really. I’m past that point, into the ‘acceptance’ part. 2 - Went vegetarian just before Covid hit. Don’t own a car since last summer - mostly because I’m lucky enough to have a route to my work. Never going back to car dependency, public transit is very nice. Eyeing my gaming rig next, but it’d be a major change for me. 3 - I’m in the American Midwest, so besides moving a bit further north, nah not really. 4 - Hell no. World leaders couldn’t figure out how to not kill their own people during a pandemic. The number of leaders actively shouting that nothing was wrong during Covid is something that I’ll never forget. We’ll get there when we get there, and not a milli-degree sooner. 5 - Technology is only as useful as the social will to use it. We could knock climate change dead tomorrow by junking all the cars and building a bunch of streetcars - something invented in the late 1800s. Could fancy schmancy carbon capture be useful? Sure. Will it? Enh. 6 - We’ll be incredibly damn lucky if the well-off countries don’t literally start shooting climate refugees. Would redistributing resources to provide for those less fortunate be a good idea? Sure. Try pushing that idea to anyone who’s not already a leftist.
