CLIMATE REMEDIATION GENERAL: PALE BLUE DOT EDITION

Without remediation, we're pushing the cost onto the future.

The truth is, we're going to pump and burn all the oil we can get, no matter what happens. Oil is just way too sweet to give it up.

All the actions we take to simingly curb oil use are only here to allow us to transition smoothly in an oilless world.

The only thing that impacts oil use is growth, so the real solution to curb oil use, polution and environmental destruction is degrowth, but shareholders will not allow that to happen.

>The truth is, we're going to pump and burn all the oil we can get, no matter what happens.
Electrification is going great guns and oil use for transport, heating and electricity generation is expected to decline.

There are however a few very important uses that are hard to do much about:
- fertilizer - without this billions will die of starvation
- plastic - this is everywhere from clothing to electronics, yet media attention is on plastic bags
- jet fuel - the energy density vs. safety is really hard to beat.

How do the Bogs factor into this??

In fact, America have more budget for preserving oil economy than for keeping it green. Solar is possible. Container ships can run on hydrogen.

We have railguns protecting fossil fuels...

Many die starvation... EAT FISH

Fish are polluted by radiation from nuclear powerplant... Better go solar. It can give imigrants in america jobs.

Anaerobic bacteria release methane under anoxic conditions eg standing water.

Wetlands are really important to flood prevention and clean groundwater. Many in the USA don't have charismatic megafauna, so they get drained, paved and turned into condos.

>>what are corn-based hydrocarbons
A tiny, tiny niche for making plastic that very easily tears.

Around here we once got corn based plastic bags for organic waste recycling. The bags were so fragile that most people used two bags inside each other to avoid messy leaks and even then there were problems.

> I'll transition when it is economically profitable for me to do so

AGW will not be adressed. Some politics pretend to care, nothing will ever be done. All we'll do is cope with it.
