My biggest source of hope for the climate crisis is that we got into our current state by expending enormous amounts of human labour. Those mines didn't dig themselves, those factories didn't build themselves, those highway networks didn't fill with cars by themselves.

It took effort to fuck things up, which means that with effort, we can un-fuck things as well.

The problem is that we've spun up a bunch of positive feedback loops in the process, and so un-fucking things is a lot costlier.

In some cases, yes, in some cases, no. Reforestation for example appears to be very cheap, fast, and simple.

Is it cheaper in terms of man-hours spent on each kilo of carbon sequestered, compared to man-hours spent on emitting it?
