There are *so many* technologies for pulling CO2 from the air. At least some of these will scale and be profitable, and we've barely even started working on the problem, so the sky's the limit. Here's a new one:https://youtu.be/ejW4f6liOS8?t=4497 …

If you've previously taken a doom-and-gloom attitude toward climate change, keying off what you saw reflected in the media and online, it is time to take an objective look at the many solutions that are out there, and reassess.

I seriously doubt working on technology that directly solves the problem is going to lead to technology that directly solves the problem. A much better approach is to complain about people's lifestyles on Twitter, and yell slogans outside international meetings of functionaries.

Don't you need both? I mean... not the "complain" part, but to both adjust lifestyles to use fewer resources, AND work on tech? It's really hard to justify "tech will solve this eventually" when humanity pumps more CO2 year over year due to increasing demand.

I mean, the answer is obviously no. Unless the endgame for humans is to have strict population limits, then it doesn't _ever_ matter what you do to your lifestyle. Our population will just grow to consume the same amount of resources again.

So although everyone has their ridiculous nonsense ideas, the truth is, unless you decide that humanity is going to implement population control, our future is space travel and technology. Lifestyle modification as an idea is just a failure to understand exponentiation.

Yeah it sucks, being a responsible society it's a solution, but that will never happen, or if it happens, it wont be in time. I feel like tech just kicks the ball down the road until we catch up again in the future.

But that's OK - the goal is to progress outward. The goal is to kick the can forever :)
