What is not being posted in news often enough are the options that we have to mitigate the effects. the only thing i read is that we need yo drive down co2. fact is: we are not gonna reach the targets in a reasonable timeframe. hence, we must start preparing to mitigate effects. instead we are caught by climate catastrophies like the current draught in europe, us and china and we are running around like headless chic…
It’s striking to me that Hacker News has a significant audience of flat earthers. Don’t look up, right? Let’s be clear, human caused climate change is very real. Rigorous science confirms this and CO2 + methane levels are now driving very visible and catastrophic weather all over the world.
Considering the period of concern over global cooling (from last century), claims of "we've known this, but have pretended not to for a hundred years" are just historical revisionism. When you lie about facts in favor of pushing a "more important truth" you don't convince people. You just give people more reason to doubt other things you're claiming.
Combined with the apocalyptic histrionics of "we've only got ten more years before it's too late forever, we have to do something now!" And that something being banning lawn mowers...
I'd really be more empathetic to the ones who will need to inhabit this future and not turn this into ridicule, even if you won't be there then..

To downplay this is the real historical revisionism and lie

Don't Look Up is a film with a story that makes absolutely no sense and constantly contradicts itself, so it might not be the best slogan to use: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/movie-review-dont-look...
Honestly that sounds like a pretty good model of my life so far.

Claiming it's about fear and control is a very easy way to ignore it — fact is, it's much easier to create fear (for the purpose of control) with human boogiemen: post WW2 British tabloids made hay by going "Communists and Germans! The Irish! Gays! Single mothers! The disabled! Muslims! Millennials! The EU!", while mostly saying that anyone concerned about the environment (even more broadly than CO2) was scaremongering.
