@toni Moon colonies we could definitely have. And a devastating nuclear war can't be excluded either, I'm very much afraid. The weapons are there, & it takes political & social stability to avoid their use. That seems to be in short supply nowadays.

@toni I must say, I hope we reduce the ammount of non-carbon energy! But I don't have much faith.Leaves me skeptical of a Ericssons whitepaper saying "computing won't have that big of an environmental impact if it was powered entirely by green energy"...

@alcinnz Incentives are currently far from where they should be to significantly reduce CO2. It looks gloom but we have no alternatives than to continue the fight. However I see that remote work can support the goal for CO2 reduction. Hopefully we as human race will also become more connected with the environment and nature since remote work allows us to move away from cities / metropolitan areas.

@toni @alcinnz Urban life is substantially less resource-intensive, for a comparable standard of living, than country life. That's just a fact. And if you're willing to give up indoor plumbing in order to feel more connected to nature, that's great for you, but not for most folks.
