Nota bene, this will hold true no matter a nations politics and geopolitics. So ideologies play a under ordered role to our game, you can call it a prediction from my pointy hat, if you like.

Well, a ban might be one, the way i look at it, but it's only a partial answer. We need to change a lot more than that, infra structures, public transportaions etc etc. But they all become opposites of our game. So they won't be introduced.

I must say that this 'Best Answer' I find plastered above all posts today fit this essay very badly. Don't use it here please, this essay is about interactions, and you will need to develop your own intuitive feeling for it. It's not going to be about one single best answer.

And the same seems to come true for groundwater and clean water. Add wars to it and you will find it even worse.

And we shouldn't forget earths respiration. The loss of it in those fires. We're already on artificial respiration with our topsoil, and we will soon meet a limit of that GPD growing. a lot of economic theories will have to change here.

" Their findings, published in the journal Nature Communications, suggest global heating is four times more influential in accelerating methane emissions than previously estimated, with rising temperatures helping to produce more methane (by speeding up microbe activity in wetlands for example), while at the same time slowing down the removal of methane from the atmosphere (with increasing numbers of wildfires reducing the availability of hydroxyl radicals in the upper atmosphere). “It was a really shocking result, and highlights that the effects of climate change can be even more extreme and dangerous than we thought,” said Redfern."

I find that quite worrying, considering the extent of those arctic and near arctic wildfires. And the way they creep ever closer to the Arctic. Not only the smoke and those ' hydroxyl radicals in the upper atmosphere', but also the soot, creating more nuclei for cloud formations while darkening the ice, also what the fire leaves after it in form of changed landscapes, releasing new carbon dioxide and methane.

It's my worst case scenario getting played out, the one I've been lifting up again and again as a probable outcome of our game's inabilities of changing anything.

And with the way we keep getting polarized into different factions, it will only get worse.

Of course it's more complicated Alan? Clouds are still one unsolved puzzle.

It's like a game Collin, with bullies everywhere. No power innocent. One of the reasons why I want this 'fractal' democracy introduced. It should be a lot harder to get a majority voting for it, than with our representative democracies

A bias, and hubris, hand in hand.

What we can notice there is a bias, shared by most of us, and all religions. That life means intelligence, and that it also makes us a privileged species.Or a 'privileged nation', or human. Without that intelligence no religion can exist.

Of course, this is assuming that intelligence is evolutionary for all life, for aliens as well as us. It could be that intelligence hasn't any meaning for evolution, in which case it, and we, don't matter at all. Us becoming a distortion of it, something unintended by nature, mother earth, the universe, or just 'life'..

Seem to remember some new tech from Hawaii, measuring biological signatures in radiation, that they've tried on a extinct species. Planning to test it on searching for extraterrestrial life. The good about is that it doesn't need someone actively using radio or any other man made artifact. Those signatures are expected to be there anyway in the radiation.

The bad thing? Well, assume they find 'life', but no artifacts existing, no one 'communicating'. What does that state about our chances today?

It doesn't matter how long it took for us to reach this point, if it was millions of years. We're burning out very quickly today.

And here's a somewhat basic description of clouds and their warming respective cooling effects.

Add to it that at night those clouds reflect IR, heat coming from the ground and water.
