There is no conceivable way that we can reach NetZero carbon-free worldwide global economy in 15 years. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. And it's a marathon that will last hundreds and thousands of years if human technological civilization is to continue to exist.

Therefore, it would be prudent to invest in every carbon neutral and zero carbon technology that we can right now to achieve those goals. This is not a one technology solution. It's an all hands on deck response to the climate crisis, and we will be lucky if we achieve this by the year 2100.

It is very much a sprint. We are hurtling towards societal collapse (currently estimated to accoure between 2040 and 2050) and already can't stop the worst effects of climate change, all we can do is scramble to reduce the harm as much as possible, and then means acting as a fast as possible.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
