    Let’s say its true that doing that would stop the problem getting worse (e.g. no more emissions after 5 years)*.

    We still have the legacy issues to deal with and I need anticaps who are thinking seriously about what can replace capitalism to take seriously how dependent we are on natural systems that are very close to collapse. We are already passed the point where just stopping the harm is job done. The climate is not the one we have evolved and developed civilisation under its far less stable.

    • There are material and energy constraints that aren’t instantly solvable and electricity production is far from the only cause of climate harm (land use and manufacturing) and some of those have major question marks remaining as to how they can be removed or electrified.

      And none of the issues are helped by a further moving target by pursuing something that pushes our energy usage even higher like some forms of “AI” that produce very little meaningful outside of capitalism anyway.
