> refrain from aggravating the situation

I used to think this way, but after years of trying I don't think getting people to change their life habits is going to happen.

At this point I think geoengineering is necessary. At the very, very least, carbon sequestration at scale is a fairly safe form of geoengineering if we can pull it off.

I think of it like Star Trek: Next Generation. They had this recurring character that nudged humanity into accepting their role of manipulating time-space.

The lesson being. We as humans aren't simply animals occupying a rock floating in space. Us being powerful means we have to take responsibility no matter how much it makes our internal naturalistic fallacy emotions winge.
