    Resolution: compost & remediate schmidt shit. Avoid smearing shit schmidt on everything.

    Putting it in a bunker hasn’t helped it return nutrients back to environment effectively.

    Kind of like speeding toward a cliff but he doesn’t think we can stop in time. Instead, he wants to floor it in the hopes of hopping the gap and landing safely on the other side.

    That is certainly one of the ideas I’ve ever heard.

      He’s just saying the quiet part out loud. Billion dollar corporations have never had any interest in doing anything to solve the climate crisis. Lots of the failure of late stage capitalism is that companies are driving off the cliff. It’s about extracting as much now so that CEOs can live large and hope their progeny gets to colonize Mars (which won’t happen.)

    Possible translation: “Let the wealthiest among us consolidate even more wealth while we wreck shit for the rest of you. We’d like to have complete control over you rubes while shit gets worse.”

    ETA: This is exactly the same rhetoric that oil and gas companies (and the politicians who’ve effectively been bought out by them) have used to justify further expansion well after knowing the danger that this poses.

    Unhinged AI will solve anything human made by getting us killed. That will work very fast because there is no “human made” climate change when there is “no human”.

    I also hate how they went from “human made climate change does not exist so we can keep everything as it is” to “we can’t meet the goals anyway so we can keep everything as it is” and how many people fall for it.

    They want to keep their money and power at all cost and at this point I question more and more if we can take it from them peacfully. We have to take it to make a better world possible or even survival possible, because they will not be helpful ever.

    They know how to meet climate goals.

    They’re just not sure how to do it while keeping power centralised in the same hands that currently hold it.

    Remember in the 00s and 10s when tech companies promised they could solve every single problem, then proceeded to make everything worse?

    Eric can go fuck himself.

    To be fair, they’re only not meetable because Google refuses to meet them.

    Everything’s impossible when you don’t give a shit
