But science is very clear that in order to keep a somewhat livable climate, we have to massively reduce CO2 emissions. This is a hard requirement. A planet Earth with 3 degrees warming will not be liveable for most humans.
The GenAI hype goes exactly into the wrong direction. We have to reduce, not increase. It is a civilisatory no go.
It is clear that as a society, and moreover in a plutocratic system where the richest people are deeply invested in fossil fuels, we are in deep internal conflict. But we cannot avoid this conflict. If we continue to let it happen, fossil fuels will kill us.
