In the context of radical decentralization and the dismantling of industrial civilization, the coming climate catastrophe will not be averted, and may even exasperated through the effects of global dimming. Ultimately, however, this does not matter, because industrial civilization will collapse anyway at some point. If not by human choice, then by environmental constraints, carrying capacity overshoot, and the laws of thermodynamics. What we can say for certain, is that the sooner the system falls, the less of the remaining natural world will be destroyed. Therefore, even if there are consequences, we should wish for and work toward dismantling the system anyway, because the longer we wait, the worse the consequences will become. Rewilding is not a solution to these grotesque problems, but it is something that we can to build resilience and to reconnect to that which modern humans have tragically lost. There. I'm anti-civ, and I just wrote about it.
