If we reset to 1960, we could avoid the whole end of the climate apocalypse thing.

I mean we wouldn't, but we could.

Everything we do still counts. The faster we reduce carbon emissions, the less catastrophic the climate will get for our civilization.

And the emissions are still increasing.

Focusing on reducing carbon emissions and pulling it out of the atmosphere would create so much new potential in economic growth...it's mind boggling to me, that we still debate over useless and minute changes, when the easiest and the most low hanging fruits are just being ignored.

Going back to 1960 would help us prevent Republicans from adopting the southern strategy and basically creating all modern problems

yeah thats the problem. There would be time but it would be the same folks trying to do something and the same folks fighting it and the same either ignoring or being ignorant of it.

It would probably take a lot of iterations of tweaks for the overlords to fix that one.
