• they’re saying that plotting future hopes on a graph is both impossible and undesirable. we can’t just assume that things will get better unless there is provable evidence that it will, and we definitely can’t just make a dotted line going back to pre-industrial CO2 levels because we think someday we will solve this problem with technology that doesn’t currently exist.

      Do you mean that the technology does exist, but, for example, the fossil fuel industries want us to use the technologies that keep them in business?

      I’ve also heard the owners of shops want to sell their products (it’s not speculation)

      And then there is your average consumer, or at least where l live, who is either not thinking that much about pumping fuel into their ‘beloved’ CEV or is concerned, but, for example, it’s not as if governments & industries are helping.
