    Yes and the reason scientists keep having to come up with these stupid fucking ideas is because they’ve become jaded to the fact that capitalism didn’t listen to them when they told them to stop destroying the Earth. They aren’t listened to, they’re told to be more “reasonable” by liberals and so we come to this.

    It’s been incredibly sad watching ecologists have their spirits slowly stamped out after decades of pleading for the ruling class to listen to them and transition away from capitalism. But because capitalism cannot be questioned they have had to make do.

    Environmental science is basically trying to desperately do damage control without questioning the almighty invisible hand. Liberals have ordered scientists to compromise, but the natural world doesn’t work like that, so basically for Earth now it’s death by capitalism at this point, or overthrowing capitalism and trying desperately to salvage what we have and put policy in place to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

    Oh and the “it’s to late now” liberals piss me off the worst, because we all saw this coming a mile away. Warned for decades, possibly even a century in advance, how very convenient for capitalists to not fix the problem, and then bemoan it being too late so they can continue their rapacious business as usual. How dare they not only absolve the villains of their responsibility but continue to allow them to keep eating the corpse of their victim.

    we’ll likely need science to step in and save the day

    They already told you how to save the day, you just didn’t like the answer.
