With the fires in LA it’s hard to feel optimistic about the future. I want to be reminded that all is not lost, we need to do a lot that likely won’t be done but there are still things to do.

So let’s say Climate Stalin became Supreme Leader of the World or just President of the United States tomorrow. Whats next? What steps do we take to stop climate change getting worse and mitigate the damage we’ve already done?

Everybody who's ever chartered a private flight gets the wall.

No more road expansions.

Everybody takes the train.

No more fossil fuels.

Take all wealth over 2 mil and use it to build public transport and renewables.

Red meat is like a once a week thing.

Companies that use engineered obsolescence get privatized.

And maybe less necessary but massively expanding public spaces so people actually had a place to go and socialize rather than all using the internet 10 hours a day.

And it would have had to happen 15 to 20 years ago.
