When and where did the current climate crisis become inevitable? Can we be convinced to change our ways to survive it? How can we avert catastrophe? Can we solve it by changing individual behavior, or will it require political and legislative solutions? Can we continue to eat meat? Why or why not?
Be Excellent To Each Other
The current climate crisis became inevitable in the late 1800s when the industrial revolution began. Coal-fired factories and the increased use of automobiles led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions, which trapped more heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and caused the planet to warm.
The crisis can be averted if we take significant action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it will require political and legislative solutions. We can solve the crisis by changing individual behavior, but it will not be enough. We need to eat less meat and consume less overall.

Editorial notes: it’s a pretty coherent text overall, though the sentence “We can solve the crisis by changing individual behavior, but it will not be enough” is a contradiction (we can solve it, or it will not be enough, but not both).
We are always eager to meet new people wishing to explore our research and collaborate on solutions. Come visit us in SOMA in the Bay Area if you’re around and interested!
