"we'd all be fine if we had just embraced nuclear" - the dumbest motherfuckers on the entire planet
If we discovered fusion tomorrow the end state is a global factory farm
It's not about energy but about understanding our place in the web of life. I think we will survive ultimately but we are gonna have to learn the hard way
Life will adapt it always does
Life will, sure. But that doesn't mean we (humans) will. Or even mammals. Life itself will prevail, that doesn't mean our favorite clades are excused from the chopping block, including the one we're on, which is actually in a rather precarious position as a large highly complex animal with highly complex needs and requirements for even the most minimal kind of survival. It frustrates me when people, especially leftists, act like climate change is just going to disrupt the geopolitical order (which yes, it is going to do that lol) and maybe kill off a bunch of species that will be sad to see go, making it "hard" for us, but ultimately won't effect us much beyond that. No, this threat is almost certainly an existential one. I've said it before but it's not a choice between socialism or barbarism. It's socialism or annihilation. Communism will win, given enough time, but how long before that time is up? We don't know, so we cannot afford in any sense of the word to wait any more.
