Yes but it's not to late to stop the worse of it, if we keep our governments and companies accountable we can limit the worse of it.

That's been working out so well so far.

The only way to keep them accountable while actually ensuring compliance is to burn them to the ground if they step out of line.

Uhh but didn't they already step out of line? Lol

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes, and we can see how well not burning them to the ground is going.

Can we do something other than burn them? I don't think the planet can handle much more CO2 output.

Good point.

So, sink into a subduction fault, or launch into the sun?

I vote for buried alive in a peat bog. That way, people in the distant future can discover their preserved corpses and put them on display in museums. At least they'll finally give back to society.

I wish I had your optimism.

Don't worry now we have AI stuff and it will solve all out problems

AI driven carbon sequestration Temperature reduction with neural networks deep learning

See? You can relax now, silicon valley tech and the invisible hand of capitalism will solve everything
