It's not 'reversible,' and we've bought a lot of trouble. but we can keep it from getting worse than it has to. we're headed for at least 2 C at the moment, which will suck (1 degree has melted the Arctic, etc etc). But current trajectories, unless we get off coal and gas and oil very fast, take us to 4-6 degrees, which is impossible.we've already caused some damage, so one has to adapt. but if we don't stop burning coal and gas and oil, the damage is going to pass the adaptable point. here's the mantra: adapt to that which you can't prevent, prevent that to which you can't adaptthink it's because some of us think the best way to change ag/diets is actually by ending the era of cheap fossil fuel, which is what the cheap meat industry runs on. i don't think we're actually going to get there one vegan at a time, but the meatpackers of the world are very vulnerable to a real cost of carbonwe need a big honking movement. that's how things change. come to new york in Sept http://act.350.org/signup/readytomarch i think most of it should go into movement building instead. if we change the zeitgeist, then we change the politicians; i don't think it works the other way aroundgreat argument. in fact, i'm having a hard time typing because my macbook just floated away now that gravity turned out to be a passing fadi think the net is the wild card we've got. you could imagine a far more local (and efficient) economic world, but without the parochialism that used to imply. because we'd all be on reddit from our cool hometowns! sipping microbrews!last sunday germany was at 74% from renewables. given that germany has, in comparison to the US, no sun, i say it should be doable!please [come]. it's going to be the next great moment in the climate movement. we don't come together as one very often, but this time we need to. and new york in the autumn is often pretty nice! http://act.350.org/signup/readytomarch
