when we get stupid.
What initiates a fire doesn't initiate a wide spread fire. We can go all day on the causes of global weather change but to ignore its existence as you puppeted demogogs prefer for fear of your stock values is to ignore the need to address and adjust.
It is what it is. Even if only considering affects, not causes, it is a rather easily measurable phenomena. We prepare that it will continue on this trajectory or risk getting so deep we cannot recover. Then look at your stock values.
Regardless; as I said so many years ago when you were still butt clenching it didn't exist at all because your puppet master said it didn't, new technologies will be developed that will benefit us and the market and then hopefully be mature enough by time of actual need.
The world isn't your 60 minute fantasy movie in which the good guys battle unfathamable odds in acts I and II, then inthe final act the heros knock something over on a bench and discover the save. It takes many decades to develop and mature tech into something that can actually be applied. Something you'd understand if you'd ever left mom's basement and actually had to create or chose to defend this place. A reasonable common sense person wouldn't need to do all that. They'd recognize, you don't depend on the writers to write a nice end to the story. You create the story.
