"How do you have audacity not worrying about our problems", you're probably selfishly asking. Well, I've never seen much caring about my problems.
Important to remember that "Earth" is a valid answer for where you live, as well.
Does it enter the short-list of problems important for me? Definitely not.
Do I think that sticking with pre-industrial climate is the only option? Frankly I don't. Stanislav Lem with his promised palm trees in Greenland is still vivid.
Just saying that because my point of view got to be represented.
Or maybe quite contrary, it's only people of certain coasts that think our current climate was optimal.
Yes we share a common Earth, but we do have conflicting interests on it.
True. But here I was thinking that we're above wanting to cut down the expense on heating for few million of our neighbours at the expense of fucking over the lives of several billion.
And that's what they get for no effort. Do you seriously expect them to show effort for bringing their climate back to worse?
Do you seriously think that any minority should be screwed over just because a larger set of people might benefit from this? For example, imagine they find a deposit of fertilizer on some tropical island. A lot of people could benefit from that fertilizer (and especially the few involved in this operation), should we just confiscate the island? After all, there's just a few thousands of inhabitants, who can be easily moved to a camp in some desert.
It would be a damn shame if technological civilization collapsed into war and famine just because the average temperature on the planet rose a few degrees. But it feels quite likely.
If it's going to happen, then it happens. I'll be reading the news all the way, but really the only thing I can do is to be prepared for the worst.
They may not get there, but at the very least, the measures required to keep them out (police state?) will probably affect you negatively.
