Have we considered doing something about global warming?
I am afraid that we as a species wont be able to act together quickly enough to have a real chance of halting the run-away changes that seem to be starting up all over the planet.
We need to reduce emissions yesterday and reduce our plastic output considerably. We're not doing anything on a scale big/quick enough to matter.
We don't have until 2050 or the targets some governments have set.
We need it done by next year, 2021, but that's unlikely to happen. We need new laws enacting tomorrow and to give everyone a big kick up the ass to get their acts together.
That's not going to happen, no matter how desperate Greta, Attenborough make it seem.
True. Greta alone won't save the climate for us. We need to get afk and go help her.
Let me just point out that we the species also include you. And me. It's up to us.
Absolutely. And the governments respond to popular pressure. When I say "It's up to us", I mean we should go out, join popular movements and pressure the government.
Austria has afaik still growing co2 emissions.
Don't know about other countries but at the moment if feels like europe talks a lot but doesn't do much.
EU stands out as the one line that has been trending down.
Germany is different matter, we are still building new coal plants while making wind more or less impossible in Bavaria. Hope that changes as well, if nobody seriously starts nothing will ever get done.
