Terrifying thought, same as with aerosols as the predominant spread vector for SARS-CoV-2 being “invisible” I tended to think the “comprehension problem” probably is the invisibility of CO2.
But yeah maybe it wouldn’t even be enough to make it “visible” with AR glasses etc. to make the necessary global shifts…
Let’s quit the doomerism none the less though, this planet should still have just enough smart apes to make this work without taking everyone and everything else down with us..
How could we hack our ape minds to make this work? Maybe social dynamics could work? High status / high success in life = low carbon emissions? How to get there?
New game rule set? Taxes etc? Chicken / egg issue though.
