I think the only thing that's going to save us from climate change is another ice age.
And we and our children, and all of our grandchildren, and great great grandchildren, will be long dead by then.
But an ice age would be a considerable change in climate.
That's true.
I mean more like, the only way I suspect we'll get back to pre industrial levels of co2 is with another ice age. Because I doubt civilization as we know it is going to survive long enough to fix it.
This one is a much better explanation and unfortunately i tend to agree with you here that humanity will not solve this in time.
... unless, maybe, we apply drastic geo - engineering methods that would solve only part of the problem.
And so, i expect a sharp decrease in humanity's population over the next few decades.
And unfortunately most of that population reduction is going to be people that were not even hooked on fossil fuels to begin with.
As well as all of the other innocent life on this planet that is suffering right now and will continue to suffer.
i don't know if it works like that. if you take a petri dish and put bacteria in it with an unlimited amount of glucose (a proxy for oil), colony collapse happens because of pollution
but the pollution doesn't go away later and the population doesn't come back to pre-collapse levels ever
