    I’m not going to watch a whole youtube video just to pick up on the latest lingo.

    No, mitigation does not require “drastic” action, fortunately. We’ve significantly mitigated it already, concerning our own emissions, and can do so further.

    Do you have an idea that might mitigate it overseas, or change domestic politics enough to speed things up here? I don’t think nonviolent protest is going to do it, there’s not enough of us willing to do so.

      Deny it’s happening, then claim we can’t change anything once it’s happened. The moment where we could do something about it is skipped over.

      Like you are doing now.

      No, mitigation does not require “drastic” action, fortunately. We’ve significantly mitigated it already, concerning our own emissions, and can do so further.

      What world do you live on? Certainly not the one the rest of us do. Our emissions have only been increasing.

      Yes we require drastic action. In fact we required drastic action decades ago. Now we require radical action.

      Do you have an idea that might mitigate it overseas, or change domestic politics enough to speed things up here?

      First and foremost, stop pointing your finger overseas. It is nothing but a distraction, a convenient excuse to not do what needs to be done domestically because “oh but China and India”.

      Secondly, investment in equipping developing nations with clean energy infrastructure can help.

      I don’t think nonviolent protest is going to do it, there’s not enough of us willing to do so.

      Ultimately it is going to have to come down to protest.

      I am hoping non-violent methods, such as general strikes and direct action will be enough.

      But that does require solidarity, motivation, and mutual aid.
