We Don’t Need To Live in Mud Huts

Re: the photos here, a (sarcastic) reader asks: If we all lived in mud huts for 103 years would it put the ice back?

Actually, yes.  That is, if our individual carbon footprints and other impacts on the environment were the same as they were in 1919, the planet would recover fairly quickly.

But of course, no one wants that lifestyle.  That’s why a great deal of thought needs to go into things like how we transition to low-carbon energy and transportation.

You may consider reading up on the subject; it’s as fascinating as it is critically important.
