We won’t ‘fix’ climate change.
We might, if we’re lucky,
fix one or two of the issues
caused by climate change.
We might, for example, figure out
how to continue
feeding ourselves
or
how to somehow hold back
the oceans.
But the planet
won’t ever be the same.
Why?
Because the more intricate
a system is,
the harder it is to repair.
And the Earth
is the most intricate system
any of us has ever encountered.
It is so intricate
we don’t have any idea
how all the millions of subsystems
interact.
Hell, we don’t even know
what the Earth’s core consists of.
Plan for irreversible climate change.
And when you’re building systems,
keep them as simple as possible.
Complicated systems
are a b*tch to fix.
