    We have solutions for climate change, but implementing those means we can’t keep our standard of living.

    We would have to change our way of life, but that does not mean it will be worse. The technology we have should stay the same or even improve, so that by producing less, we have to work less. Imagen what a two day workweek would do for a society. That is btw how you really need to run degrowth. That is go for early pensions and reduced workweeks. There are also a lot of health benefits to replacing fossil fuel technologies.

      My initial post wasn’t about not changing or not accepting what is heading towards us. It was more a try of explanation why we are soon slow in reacting to this crisis.

      I believe technology will improve, but we are simply not there yet to just replace fossil fuels and having no impact on the standard of living.

      I am on one page with you, we need to change, fast! If it is not too late already, but anyway, change, change, change!

      If we still got time for it, we’ve got about a single shot at this.
