Down the Climate Change rabbit hole.

I know how to fix the problem. And no one is gonna like the answer.
I have given much thought about climate change for the past five years.
You could say that I become obsessed with the topic.
The fact that climate change is real is beyond argument.
The real problem is getting the whole world to stop using carbon related products in a carbon dependent economy. The entire economy is built on easy cheap energy.
Globalism will not work. It is carbon dependent. This will have to go.
The speed at which we demand everything has outpaced climate reality. The internet has provided the world with an abundance of information but at the same time stolen the livelihoods of buisness’s that once thrived in local communities. Click a button and you can have anything within reason deleivered to your door within a week.
The whole neoclassical system needs over turning.
Food needs to be produced locally. As do fertilisers.
40% of the worlds population wouldn’t be alive today if it wasn’t for the Haber-Bosch process which is massively energy dependent. Therefore unless you want to stop half the world from starving the first thing that needs to be done is selecting which energy dependent process’s are more important than others and prioritising these over others. Food creation and transport are obviously important, driving to the coast for a holiday maybe not so much... Selecting energy priorities will be hugely important for a finite world that is in fact running out of non renewable sources of energy and resources.
Eating meat is a complete waste of resources but being a vegan is fucking miserable. Especially if you have been bought up eating meat and dairy. And before I get hounded about this statement, I know because I was (for a time) vegan.
Riding your bike to work makes you the most efficient creature on the planet. So that’s an obvious planetary plus. Living close to where you work is another (unrealistic one in today’s world)
"I read a study that measured the efficiency of locomotion for various species on the planet. The condor used the least energy to move a kilometer. Humans came in with a rather unimpressive showing about a third of the way down the list....That didn't look so good, but then someone at Scientific American had the insight to test the efficiency of locomotion for a man on a bicycle and a man on a bicycle blew the condor away. - Steve Jobs.
The earth is not a fuel tank!
It will get sucked dry. Even if climate change policies are never followed through with one day we will run out of fuel....
And believe me when I say that the fuel will continue to be used until it is gone. Try telling India and China they are not allowed to burn fuel after we have spent the last century doing exactly that.
Unless new forms of energy are realised then the economy as it is will eventually fail. No doubt about it. Over the next year a recession the world as not seen since the 1930’s will unravel itself around the world.
Wars will be fought.
Once we had to fight to survive now we fight to get the latest shoes or the latest prado. We have forgotten what our grand parents new all too well. Real life is a struggle. We have become accustomed to living of a bloated government funded economy. It didn’t work for the Romans. In fact it failed that hard that it sent Europe into the dark ages for 1000 years.
Today we live better than royalty lived only 100 years ago. And yet we are still miserable as fuck.
Instagram is a curse upon humanity that needs to be put to sleep. Product marketing has become out of control. Influencers have become influenzas.
New forms of energy are as follows.
Hydrogen fuel is real. The tanks used to store it are heavy and expensive and resource rich themselves. They have also been known catastrophically fail. This is also known as hydrogen embrittlement. So hydrogen fuel looks looks unlikely.
Nuclear is not an option as it has a tendency not only to melt down but condemn the site for tens of thousands of years into the future.
Solar power is awesome. No doubt about it. But I am yet to hear of a solar factory that makes solar panels using solar power. They don’t exist. Perhaps a share of the power consumed is created by using solar power but what about the trucks used to dig the silicon out of the earth to make panels. These are still very much power by carbon fuels.
Wind power is awesome but resource heavy.
Fusion power is promising but resource heavy.
Camp fires were a good idea since forever and will continue to be long after the collapse.
I hate to be the pessimistic one but I have serious doubts we will solve climate change.
The biggest problem is greed.
“The world has enough for everyone's needs, but not everyone's greed," Mahatma Gandhi
Because wealth brings security and fiat money is accepted world wide real things of value have lower value than pieces of paper with fancy pictures printed on them. Fiat money needs to end. The whole structure is currently fracturing as we speak. It works because we believe it. The next recession will make us all question the value of our paper money.
Check out the history of the Weimar Republic. This event in history shines a light on the eventual outcome of QE (Quantitative Easing).

“When the Last Tree Is Cut Down,
the Last Fish Eaten,
and the Last Stream Poisoned,
You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money”

Only when we have lost everything will be realise the value of everything we once took for granted.
A simple solution does exist.
We could plant trees. Cut them down. And bury them.
In fact this is the most economically sensible process to do. And people should be paid for it.
Now before I get pounded prison style for this statement remember trees suck up carbon from the atmosphere and store it in their wood. Once the tree as reached an acceptable size you could simply cut that sucker down, dig a hole and bury the carbon back where it came from.
Rinse and repeat. Grow and cut and bury.
Repeat this process until future generations feel safe to live on a planet that we once took for granted.
Remember. We live on a rock. That floats through space. That has a ballon skin of an atmosphere. That currently holds two hundred and thirty millions years worth of carbon dioxide that was released in only one hundred years.
