Anything to avoid riding a bicycle

Four panel cartoon showing a male climate scientist talking to a woman who implores him to give her hope, he explains emissions need to be cut drastically and tells her she can help by riding a bicycle, she responds by saying she'd rather die.

Let's be honest - these changes will not be minor at all.
And they will happen this way or another.

@8petros not only "minor changes to lifestyle" at this point won't be minor, it's also not (only) lifestyle that needs changes, but large parts of industry, transport, etc.

@viq @8petros

I think the lifestyle changes needed *could* be fairly minor. But the longer we wait, the less minor the actual changes imposed on us by the planet will be.

and yes we're already a ways down that path to non-minor changes being imposed

@8petros I'm not sure whether 20 years ago it wasn't already too late for minor changes to be sufficient. Nowadays the only minor change that might do subsequent is to move out of areas that soon will be uninhabitable.
