re: #6 Dangerman

it’s the “covid escaped from a lab” argument.

I’m with you
doesnt matter why were here
doesn’t matter what happened
we are here
arguing why is pointless
what are we gonna do?

In this case, it does matter how we got here, because the solutions would be different. If our use of fossil fuels is a significant factor in climate change, then we can address the problem by a drastic modification in how we produce energy for our society. If fossil fuels are irrelevant, then we have to explore entirely different mechanisms to stop this change or adapt to its inevitable effects. Anthropogenic change can potentially be reversed by alterations in our behavior; that is not so likely if we are facing catastrophe from outside.
