Why? Okay, it’s happening. Now what?
Karp discovers that the 2023 IPCC report basically only looks at two things, market corrections and industrial technology. No other subjects allowed. Such as capitalism alternatives, consumption, or population overshoot, when it’s obvious those three issues are the essential root of the problem.
Agonizing over how to stop using fossil fuels within a system that cannot do without them is futile –and crazy-making.
Whoever wants to stop driving their car and shopping at the grocery store, permanently, raise you hand. That’s what’s needed for climate mitigation.
A whole new world is necessary with new categories of thought, new filters and frames.

This might be more to the point than the 2000 pages of research in the report. Karp’s simple definition, the “filters and frames” we bring to make sense out of our experience, really nails the concept.
