Ha - as we've discussed
@Alex Lake , likely in this thread, catastrophe is of course unavoidable and in the end we are *all* going to die.
I can imagine that the discussion has moved on a little perhaps - having a "climate change" thread is maybe a bit like having an "economy" thread, or indeed a "wine" thread. It's not specific enough.
There are lots of threads with people talking about things like - heat pumps, fitting their own houses out with solar, environmental implications of wine making practices, wine making consequences of environmental changes.
It's also, imvnho, an area which rewards diving into the details. I was a huge fan of the Drawdown project for a while, which basically offers stack ranked solutions for reducing CO2 emissions (and indeed I still keep a pie chart of global CO2 emissions sources pinned to my office whiteboard, to remind me) but the more I've gotten into the detail, the more I find myself going down specific little rabbit holes. Again - I would highly recommend Chris Goodall's Carbon Commentary newsletter.
If i could summarise my position - it's probably that the time for handwavy big picture nonsense is gone. If you want to make a difference you need to get into the details and figure out where you want to drive change. More nukes more solar upgrade grid infra change building / planning regs to promote green housing change farming practices (and in particular stop subsidising bad farming practices through land tax systems and direct farming subsidies) all seem like no brainers for right now - plus there is a lot of interesting stuff happening in future clean tech stuff.
Then it's a case of thinking - what changes do I make by spending my own money differently, what changes do I make by applying political pressure. I've become a huge convert to writing to my MP of late for example...
