"At least those events not happening 8y the volition of their own natural incompetence!"

The thing is, we're perfectly capable of engineering our own, more cool, climate change, the good one. It's already here, so why not boost the productivity of permafrost lands, for example? Why not roll with it, why not use it?

We're changing the world at an unprecendented scale, we're, as one tumblr post puts it, we're deterraforming Earth!

That's cool! That's, as I put it, dialectical. The dialectic between The Inferno and humans have existed for nearly entire history of class society, that's a long time! And if we truly want its sublation, if we want a union of Inferno and humans, we should go along with the contradictions.

Consciously. Rationally. Mindfully.

It's aaalways been like that. The M@d Hatter approach, where you exhaust the tea and tidyness in one seat and go to another, is simply a spatial quantitative resolution of a Red Queen approach. If we are to seek technological solutions to the issue, we will enter a new round of the same spiral of human development that started when humans first altered their habitat and Inferno, born that very minute, responded.

One cannot exist without the other, sure, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't strive to exploit Infernal Forces to eradicate the exploitation of human(sensu lato) persons.

So, yeah, I kind of hate the entire approach of "minimizing footprint". You should be maximizing it, but in a sensible way! The human pursuit of creative labor will do the rest.
