Look here Fiat damaging the economy with an electric public transportation vehicle, in 1990.
Besides, are still in service, in 2019 after some maintenance and a couple of paintjobs.
And I ride them daily, damaging the economy since 1990.

Oh, I think we’re going to get the worst of it.
It’s just a matter of whether it’ll last a couple centuries or a thousand years or more.

Part of me feels like this cartoon is actually optimistic. They’re still living in their neighborhood (it isn’t completely destroyed)? There’s still a functional government? There’s still enough global infrastructure for an oil industry?
Luxury!

I thought the way “The Rover” portrayed the end of society was pretty believable, albeit a specifically Australian outback version of it-- everything is scarce, the only real police force is the military, you can probably get away with murder and theft on a small scale but the moneyed interests have hired mercenaries to protect oil and other valuable resources that will be portioned out as they see fit, etc.

Cool! Where is this? And how do I get Austin on board?
Honestly, at this point I’m starting to get on the geo engineering bandwagon.
As long as governments refuse to do anything to curb emissions for the foreseeable future. We may as well do the cheapest fucking thing and put sulfates in the atmosphere to manage incoming radiation. We know it works w/ volcanoes. It’s cheaper than dirt. It’s easy. It works. It just isn’t actually fixing the problem.
But it is buying time. As long as were very definitely not fixing the problem, we may as well have more time to sit aroud with our thumbs in our asses.
