With the fires in LA it’s hard to feel optimistic about the future. I want to be reminded that all is not lost, we need to do a lot that likely won’t be done but there are still things to do.
So let’s say Climate Stalin became Supreme Leader of the World or just President of the United States tomorrow. Whats next? What steps do we take to stop climate change getting worse and mitigate the damage we’ve already done?
Bulldoze wealthy suburbs and replace them with commie blocks serviced by adequate public transport and services. Replace a lot of centralised power generation with distributed renewables. Put more research into wood molding and plant a billion trees (not monocropping though) so that as much carbon can be locked in buildings, infrastructure, and furniture as possible. Merc billionaires until they voluntarily give up their wealth.
Edit: something about meat consumption
