Pierre Friedlingstein: There are no “magical climate solutions” | Nothing matters more than ending fossil fuel consumption, says one of the world's leading climate scientists.
I feel like we're at a point where talking about climate is pretty much useless, as nothing ever radical is going to be done even if the worlds leading scientists start talking about it non-stop, assuming nothing changes in how governments/society functions.
For anything to happen, the left has to wake up worldwide and organize some worldwide radical effort rather than what's happening right now, with climate change talk brushed aside or having some exploitable program that barely does anything.
oh stuff is definitely being done, like building new fossil fuel export hubs!. There's a nice little loophole where exports aren't counted as emissions so we are going to massively increase that while trying to pretend we are cutting down ourselves. profit is the only thing that matters to those in power.
But if anyone tries to block or obstruct those hubs and pipelines taking vast quantities of gas and oil out of the country than you can bet the CEO will be on Fox News within the hour to explain how this is the left driving up the price of gas for hard working americans.
