There is no solution to climate change. Climate change will occur, whatever we do. Human activity is polluting, it's inevitable. To avoid climate change, we should have listened to the Club of Rome, in 1972, when they published "the limits to growth". We should have installed a Malthusian politic, to avoid high birth rates. Now it is much too late.

An article I read recently talked about how the famous Toyota production system (which inspired agile and such) actually refers to countermeasures, not solutions. Seems rather appropriate to our current conversations about climate change.

The house is on fire, the house is burning, and humanity is throwing more gasoline on it. Every countermeasure we will find will be ridiculous.
