sstackmore on Nostr: All things being equal, is far better for humans and lots of plant and animal life ...
All things being equal, is far better for humans and lots of plant and animal life for Earth to be getting warmer than it would be if we were getting colder. Warmer is even likely better than present. The idea that we can hold Earth in stasis is silly. What is the "right" temperature? CO2 is a factor but in my estimation somewhere between the 6th and 20th most significant driver. To focus on it in exclusion is irrational. This all said, yes, I tend to leave nuance aside because no one cares. Joke about global government socialism -- ha ha only serious -- it gets to the point and makes the story human. Yes the only proposed "solutions" to this "problem" involve massive coordinated policies that in just 20 years have gone from "let's recycle and be more efficient" to "you must emit zero carbon by 2030/50/whatever". Yes, you are the carbon they want to reduce.
