Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

In practice I'm pretty doomer at this point, I just do not believe political and economic structures are capable of dealing with this issue.
But such is the cyclical nature of life. And we had a damn good run after WW2 in Europe, so low-key curious to see what the world after the wars and disasters will look like.

But apparently, corporations are allowed to dispose it directly to the ground or river. Only for nations with no regulation that is.

We shouldn't waste anytime in stopping climate change, But humanity can still survive, just in a very unpleasant environment. Still though, Climate change is one of our paramount issues, and we should address it now

I don't think you've actually lived through any real doomsday predictions though? Like, about the closest thing I can think of for that statement would be some of the scares in the Cold War, and to say those were bullshit is questionable with hindsight given we know WW3 almost started a few times.

The question is: are we going to succeed?
