Everybody knows what needs to be done. Parenthood needs to be sustainable for the parents. There’s just no political will to implement a policy that will only start paying off in 20+ years. Every politician kicks the can down the road, or implements half-hearted policies.

Edit: Just realised I posted this to the wrong instance comm 😅

    Yeah. How much of that progress, as a result of sustainability focus, came about solely in the past 2 decades? You’re proving my point, that we just don’t do something about future problems until it’s become a today problem.

      Quite a bit, we have not been standing still. New salt based batteries have been announced recently. You’re going to have to explain how this proves your point tho

        We can predict a disaster 2 centuries in advance, and yet accelerate the onset of the disaster until it’s almost too late to avert it. What makes you think humanity would do anything useful if they had a thousand years? We’d just revert to our old behaviour because the urgency wasn’t there any more.

          I think we might just have a better shot, or at least more time to adapt to a harsher climate. I’m not saying this is a guaranteed solution
