    Overnight for a human would correspond more closely to within a year for society, and that’s what I meant.

    But I very much fear that even relatively drastic change through capitalism is still going to lead us to disaster.

    Edit: I realise my response is inadequate. You talk about the distribution problem. I say a lot of the need for distribution is artificial: either the rich want to prevent the poor from creating their own so that they become reliant, or the rich take the poor’s resources from them because of needless greed.

    Most of the real lacks, including that of water, could probably be solved with infrastructure. As for what really needs to be transported, if we really want, there shouldn’t be too big an issue with doing it in a way that doesn’t actively destroy the Earth.

      Unfortunately through capitalism is the only way that we have

      But the good news is that we don’t have unregulated capitalism so we have more of a means of actually doing something

      We do have to put pressure on our politicians to achieve it though and unfortunately so many people have taken a “We’re doomed anyways so why bother” attitude which only benefits those who benefit from us doing nothing
