Some scientists theorize we’ve already passed the red line. The rest is just crowd control. Those eggs are gonna be broken but they’re probably gonna be a few billion people. Best to plan for the worst, hope for the best and doing both climate science and technical advances towards colonization.
It’s not like the research and funding needs to go to one or the other. Never understood that argument, like what 10,000s of astrophysicists and engineers are just gonna be like “yeah let’s all stop or research today to save humanity” lmao.
Colonizing other planets is not a solution. It is vastly harder to terraform Mars than to repair the damage we’ve done to Earth. Multiple technological Holy Grails must be discovered in order to make it even remotely possible. Not happening.
A colony established on Mars with current technology would be completely dependent on Earth for food and other supplies.
If we’ve passed the red line already, then it’s all over and we may as well live it up while we still can.
We’re really gonna need to colonize another planet eventually.
It’d be easier & cheaper to fix this one.
We’re going to have to break a few eggs though, since we waited so long.
By eggs I mean multinational corporations.

I didn’t say terraform.
