[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In order to make meaningful change, we need to tax fossil fuels at a very high rate. I can't imagine this is a politically viable option. But until we enact change at the societal level, individuals choosing to give up meat or bike to work aren't really doing much to save the planet. Then of course there is the issue that many other countries would need to do the same. It's all quite overwhelming to think about.[/quote]

Yes I agree. (OP). I actually think the only way this is really going to get mitigated enough to stop an apocalypse is if a kind of violent revolution happens. The Bourbons were willing to let people starve and die because they couldn't even imagine giving up their comfortable position and easy life - so in order for France to be saved, the royals and the aristocrats had to be dragged out of their palaces and guillotined.

Without something like this happening on a global scale, there is no way we are going to be able to stop the momentum of global warming. [/quote]
