We can reach the yellow line, it would just require telling the fossil fuel industry to get fucked, and rapidly investing in green energy, reducing waste, and probably stepping on the toes of the Millitary Industrial Complex.
I suspect it’s actually the minority who would be unwilling to sacrifice. Most people sacrifice every day, seemingly more and more every financial quarter, but not for any greater good. Just so that wealthy minority can pad the bottom line they think will make them safe in an increasingly precarious world.
I’ve been forced to sacrifice. I rent a car to drive for Uber, and as a result of being forced to use an electric vehicle for this, I lose about 20% per day.
It definitely can. It should not be, but it can be. Government is getting bolder with drastic dictatorial action, and just because we rely on something for safety and stability doesn’t mean it can’t be taken away in an instant.
I doubt anyone could be the yellow line. But better than Biden is definitely possible
Maybe Gore could’ve been the yellow line
Starting sooner is always better.
i could be the yellow line, i’ll stand on the white house balcony and take a piss on the citizens

We definitely can, it just would take a lot of effort and sacrefices the majority aren’t willing to take.
We could shut down every coal power plant tomorrow, better to have some brown outs than to not have a planet at all.

I’m doing my part! (against my will)
Ugh that fucking sucks. I hate losing money just on rents, it feels so pointless
And bring the unemployment rate to a new high? I agree coal plants need to shut down and be replaced but it can’t all be done in one snap.
Climate change will kill many more people than unemployment does.
this is true, but that doesn’t make it more acceptable

The result of shutting down every coal plant would not be “some brown outs”. It would be millions of people dying from cold and starvation.
