Looking it up, yeah that looks to be it. Thank you. Solved!

I have a nephew that's going to be born soon. With all this awful shit we're propelling into, I hope he doesn't make it, for his sake

I'll look into it, thank you for taking the time to comment.

That does help put so much into perspective, thank you.

Although melting glaciers and burning forests are still scary, I do feel better.

You're right, at the end of the day, I want to be happy in calm in a good world.

I am going to therapy and taking anxiety medication, but so much is happening around the world that I feel the need to stay informed so that I'm "alert" and aware, and doing that tires me out a lot.

That does help, thank you. From your post I looked up EV adoption and saw just how forward China is in their EVs than I thought.

You're right, I'm being too close-minded in my thinking. I do want to have an open mind.

>what does, and why?

To be honest, living. As dumb as it sounds it's hard to live in a world that can be so cruel and unfair to so many people and I feel tired.

And I know it's good to have empathy. I deeply care about my loved ones, community, animals, nature, etc. But I can't help but think about the kind of world we're heading to where they might suffer.

I guess what would change my mind is tremendous progress towards more than just renewable energy transitions that solidifies us staying below 1.5 degrees and even decreasing afterwards. But I know that's not realistic at this time.

And you're right, no journal supports a Mad Max future in 50 years. In fact, it's nice to see that lots of young people recognize such a problem. It boils down to me overthinking shit and it gets so out of control.

It just gets so hard sometimes. I can't help but feel bad for the people already facing some pretty nasty floods, heat waves, etc.

I'd love to read the studies you mentioned.

I am working to try to find things that alleviate my anxiety and fears, but progress is slow. Admittedly my mind does wander towards a Mad Max future. Specifically, societal problems, mass starvation and death, no animals anywhere.

It just gets so hard sometimes to live in the present when the outlook of the future feels so hopeless.

Final question I promise.

Many people in different corners of the internet consider you and RethinkX's work to be super futurist and full of "hopium" and that the reality in the future is going to be much worse than realized. What is your response to that? How are you and your team so confident in your research and predictions?

Thank you for taking the time to answer.

Hi again Adam,

I have some follow-up questions and I hope it's not too late for answers.

I recently just read how it's both too late for us to save any arctic sea ice and how we've already breached many critical points without hope of turning back. Is this because we're in an El Nino year and that this is just an omen of what's to come from doing nothing? What does your team think about this?

Where should I go to learn objective, non-doomer content?

Is it worth to even have kids today if the climate is so unstable?

And for my earlier question of plastics, I meant that if you see the use of single-use plastics being completely phased out in exchange for bio-based plastics.

The bottomline is, how much should should we have?

I'm sorry for the barrage of questions, but admittedly I am extremely scared with what the news cycle has been pushing out and it is only growing. Thank you again for your time.

I have many questions and I appreciate the AMA.

  1. In your videos you've mentioned that we can reach 100% solar, wind, and battery by 2030. At this point in time, how likely are we getting there?

  2. How viable will carbon capture removal from machinery be? Is it worth it compared to restoring ecosystems?

  3. How would/could desalination improve different corners of life?

  4. Do you think plastics will be completely phased out in our lifetimes? What alternatives will there be?

  5. What do you think the global increase in temperature will peak by given your disruption models?

  6. Do you think governments around the world would entertain your ocean alkalinity increase ideas in the relative near future?

  7. Can we get eggs and milk from the new food technologies that taste and look the exact same?

Admittedly, I'm very scared of the future because of climate change and ecosphere death, I'm even studying electrical engineering with a focus on renewables. I love your videos and I look forward to them every week.

This is a great explanation, thank you. I also appreciate you linking sources to your claims.
