oil, coal, gas... i.e. fossile fuels lying under ground
where do these come from?
the addition of _more_ greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere
what causes climate-change?
you can be as inefficient as you want in converting and using energy, and not cause climate change
i.e. not change their ways
.. by saving resources
.. by optimizing
.. by looking to the future
.. by sacrificing something now, to survive later
- learn about trying to survive the future
more importantly, it's about surviving and thinking longterm
.. even though this game is partially about efficiency
everyone should try to play the game Frostpunk
then technology can solve our big energy _wants_ in the future
which is not an extreme change at all, relative to the problem at hand
some science found that we would only need to live like we did in the 60's
why don't we lower our living standards??
because green energy can't supply our demands yet
which implicitly means that fossile fuels need to be extracted
because they want to keep living the way we do
why then does people talk about efficiency?
but inefficiency doesn't cause climate change!
many people talk about efficiency for solving climate change
.. for now - in the future tech can raise the standards again
our living standards, which are distributed very unevenly across people
what is then central to solve climatechange?
