For most countries around the world, sourcing energy entirely from wind, solar, geothermal, and hydropower by 2050 would reduce their energy needs and costs, improve air quality, and help slow climate change, according to a study in Environmental Science & Technology.
Oh 100% we should do everything we can. It won’t save us but it will make it slightly better as we make the fall and save 1000s years of recovery for the planet. For every gram of carbon we stop from being released it’s a slightly cooler day. It may be the difference between 48C and 47C but people living 48C temps will welcome any relief they can get.
Hell even if those trees are temporary that temporary could buy us a year or two between different stages of collapse. A year or two with food production collapse but still breathable air will be charished.
All I’m saying is two things. Do your best to make things better in any way you can and be kind. When the collapse gets worse. Your family is your life blood and your neighbors become family.
Create community networks use your time helping that community in any way you can be it local food growth or storage like canning etc.
I just want people to come to terms with the diagnosis. Stop thinking some guy is going to create this magic machine to fix the problem or that the governments of the world are going to fix it they are not.
Create a Bucket List try to do some of those things while you can. Make it a priority not in the next 5 years more like this or next year. Hug your love ones extra long and take a moment to remember how it feels when you hug them.
What would you do if a doctor told you that you have 5 years to live? Whatever that is do it. Sooner rather than later while you still have a chance. If I’m wrong worse is you lived life to the fullest and enjoyed your family and did some good. If I’m right you will charish those memories while you endure a lot of suffering.
