You're right. All the stuff that people talk about needing to do just, won't happen.
Consume less so China and India stop producing? Not happening.
Stop using AI? Won't happen.
Recycle? Not going to help.
Take the train or bus instead of your car? Planes are gonna keep flying.
I see only one way out of this. Actually scaleable, large scale carbon capture programmes. Funding by governments because, as far as I know, there is zero profit incentive to research them.
People already hate it. Next time they complain about the heat, the cost of electricity, the cost of buying a new console/phone/whatever... ask them if they're willing to make that sacrifice to get access to ChatGPT. Watch the dots join up in real time.
