I mean thats not really true even if the most catastrophic of feedback loops was actively happening if we invented something for effective carbon capture and storage or did something more drastic like launch enough nukes to start a nuclear winter we could still do something.
We shoudn't rely on carbon capture, the technology is still at an embryonary stage and will not be ready on time to have a significant impact. Nor on a nuclear winter, for obvious reasons.
~~I agree but you said that there would be a point that our actions do not matter. I’m pointing out that there will always be choices to be made that will have some level of effect. You also can’t convince me that if people started dying the the numbers that are expected that if someone told the person in power that a nuclear winter would solve they wouldn’t at least consider it.~~
EDIT: Thought you were the person that I had initially replied to my bad. Thanks 9bananas.
I was simply pointing out that there will always be some level of choice. I do not think that putting ourselves into a nuclear winter is something that should be considered a good idea I was simply pointing it out as an option that was technically available. Not using an option is still making a choice.
FYI: wrong user; check names again ;)
Oops thanks for that.
