You won’t feel a thing. It won’t affect you at all. Everything will be awesome and perfect!
This is what 2030 could look like if we win the war on climate change
By 2030, your CO2 emissions will be greatly reduced. Meat on your dinner table will be a rare sight. Water and the air you breathe will be cleaner and nature will be in recovery. The money in your wallet will be spent on being with family and friends, not on buying goods. Saving the climate involves huge change, but it could make us much happier at the same time.
See? No change
Right now, we are losing the fight against climate change – but what would winning look like? What is life like in a green world?
Here’s one version of a “CO-topiaâ€:
You walk out of your front door in the morning into a green and liveable city, where concrete has dwindled and green facades and parks are spreading. If you choose to call a car, an algorithm will calculate the smartest route for the vehicle and pick up a few other people on the way.
Since the city council’s ban on private cars in the city, lots of new mobility services have arrived. It is cheaper for you not to own your own car, which, in turn, reduces congestion so you arrive at your destination more easily and quickly and don’t have to spend time looking for somewhere to park. You can also choose to travel by bike, scooter or public transit.
(many more things which are supposed to be awesome, skip to the end)
If we consider what the future could be, picking up the mantle against climate change may not seem so bad after all.
Yeah, everything is great. Your life is controlled by the Government, you don’t have that much money to buy things because the cost of living is sky high and government takes a lot more of it, you can’t really go anywhere, your home is tiny, and nothing has changed with the climate, since the changes are mostly natural.
But, now that you’ve given all your choice, freedom, and liberty up to government, you don’t know how to get it back.
