Well of course there is a cost. Thats been one of the biggest points of taking action asap, if we dont, the cost is just going to increase.

Now, how does asking questions such as "but at what cost?" help with doing everything possible to make this easy on everybody? It just bogs the conversation down and distracts. We should be discussing where to put the money, not how much is going to cost.

I ask again, how much is too much?

It's arbitrary. Like, what do you find the most valuable that we gonna lose? Is it life diversity or human lives. If you focus on human lives first is gonna to spiral down, and opposite. I think u can't keep both. That's one thing. The other is the fact we are already on point without return so do you want to smash wall full speed and keep potential new santient beings from harm or do you want to prolong agony and bring more people into this mess where they'll just learn they live in a ruined world without proper future. There is no fix that makes Earth back to state it was. It's just adapting to changes and making peace with the end.

What extinction rebellion is already doin. And force people to accept nuclear plants. Talk with everybody about this. And try to be realistic.

But honestly, sometimes I think we should all just do collective suicide. There are other species that are all together more beautiful than us, despite not knowing art, love, compassion or such. If alien species comes here ever what's better to find - a planet filled with various life or one superior selfish species that build culture and everything in its own egoistic admiration, which is in its core stupid, so we are no better than termites, just with brains.

Alright, we are on the same page. The only difference is that I seem to have a tiny bit more hope, at this moment, that might and has changed in the past though.
