my rough beliefs (Jul'2024)

  • it's definitely happening
  • it's almost-certainly mostly human action (mostly burning fossil fuels, but also causing wildfires)
  • it will probably be catastrophic for a big portion of the world - esp places where it's already hot, where they're near and just-above ocean-level.
  • we've been failing to make the costs of fossil fuels real/transparent - when oil prices have gone up due to Russia/Ukraine war, many governments have subsidized fuel use; and of course SUVs are more and more the primary US car-purchase
  • we need a Carbon Tax and a Water Tax (Clean Water)
    • cf energy/water used by web3 and then GenAI
