When it comes to climate change I am firmly in the “whatever it takes” category

Sulfates or diamond dust injected into the atmosphere could cool the earth by 1.6°? Do it. It costs trillions of dollars and people won’t like it bc of the chemtrails or whatever? Idc

Dehydrate the stratosphere causing cooling? Go for it sounds great

Forcefully pass legislation that means people are no longer allowed to use the most carbon emitting things? Go for it. Idc if it’s against our personal freedoms or whatever we can get those back when we stop destroying the world

Just straight up destroy HQs/factories of every company that is causing a large amount of emissions? Yep I support it even if I might have to not say that out loud when it actually happens for legal reasons lol

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is to ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING so if people are refusing to reduce emissions we’re simply going to have to DO SOMETHING ELSE

Sure it would be great to just elect leaders who care about the climate and have them legislate to remove emissions at a reasonable rate and turn things around but with globalization leading to the current world political climate etc it is now impossible to get anywhere in politics without being corrupt as hell and therefore impossible to elect non-evil leaders who care about anything other than money at this current moment, and I’m pretty sure we won’t get people who care about the earth (since they still have a few decades left on it and would have to suffer with us) until the entire current group of elderly oligarchs dies off so we’re gonna have to get something else going ASAP

My main hope is that now that dump the orange is back at it again people will actually start paying attention to the bad and damaging things this fuckawful country is doing and push back against it instead of going “well sure climate change is bad but I don’t want to criticize the prez in case the other guy gets elected instead so I’m just gonna say their policies are great!”
