It's not about policy but about economics. Solar is growing exponentially and will soon be our cheapest source of energy, even so cheap that it will be cheaper to make carbon hydrates from the air than pump up fossil fuels.

that’s not true. in a burning building, freaking out and getting the fuck out of the building is smart and why it’s instinctual

Not at all, why do you think during fire drills you're instructed to stay calm?

Excellent example of what I mean. In a burning building panic isn't helpful and hinders the actual correct response, just like with climate change.

Getting rid of dirty boat fuel is likely the reason why we see this sudden rise in temperature: https://lemmy.world/comment/10570999

No we don't need to accept that, they can be better off by the end of this century than we are now.

But spreading panic is counterprodictive

While I get the sentiment and believe action is necessary, this is the wrong way to approach it. Panic is not the way we will solve this crisis.

There's a way out, and if we get through we'll be in a better place than we've ever been. We need to mass invest in green technology. Solar, wind, nuclear, throw everything at it and see what sticks. Solar is already on the right track to save us, but it's better if it goes even faster and have a few back up plans.

That was just an excuse, they just couldn't get the parts. Radar is back now.

Because it's called Full Self Drive and Musk has said it will be able to drive without user intervention?
