Literally nobody and especially not me said anything about nuclear fusion solving climate change and especially not "right now." I have been abundantly clear throughout the thread that I'm talking about long-term carrying capacity contra concerns of the Malthusian variety, on scales of hundreds or thousands of years—not about whether weather will be shitty in the third world in coming decades. "Blithe optimism and faith in progress"—Yawn, try harder or learn how to read. Talk to me when you actually want to talk to me and not some imaginary version of myself you've conjured up in your mind to knock over.I appreciate that blithe optimism and faith in Progress is kind of your thing, but come on. There was jubilation the other day when the JET team managed to recover 1% of the power they were putting into the machine. For five minutes.
That is not a solution to the problems we face right now.
