    We shouldn’t need to kill people if we act now.

    Electrification of home heating and transport means that people are going to lead very similar lives to what they lead today on a regular basis. People living in cities and towns are going to be more likely to use mass transit, and we’ll repurpose some structures so that people can live closer to where they work and shop.

    The very wealthiest are going to need to give up their mega-yachts, and air transport will be a lot less common.

    Some industrial processes will need to change how they’re done.

    We’re going to use a lot less concrete, and somewhat less steel.

      This will need radical government regulations as the industries are not voluntarily doing. People need to start taking over their governments.

        Yes, it requires seizing power. Ideally via an electoral process if you live in a place where that’s possible.

      Such a interesting time frame to be alive! Humanity is in a race against itself. Losing could not only mean the end of humanity, but of vast forms of life on Earth. And it’s an uphill race of common democratic people racing against the rich, who own the means we need to win.

      Almost like a movie, however, I feel in a movie there wouldn’t be as many people shrugging shoulders and looking away.
