With respect to hesitancy to adopt new models and methods re climate change snd general conservation, full honestly and full rationality combined may not be the bullet, because even if we aren’t fully honest or fully rational as creatures, those concerns can be and often are.
It’s not really an issue of ignoring climate change( or any problem) but a rational and honest conclusion about the limits of ones own ability, circumstance, and effect. This seems to be another example of lumping bad outcomes as non-reason.
Of wishfully thinking that relative reason has the ability to change the field of play rather than altering how we move in it. Of irrationally excluding the possibility that we’re looking at an exclusively sub optimal outcome field.
I’d hesitate to say that we could solve climate change tomorrow, even if we were fully rational and everyone wanted to/ but let’s say that we could. Let’s say that we could, but also acknowledge that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. So sure, we could fix it, at massive cost in human well-being and life. Is that not something that deserves rational consideration?
Do rational human beings, weighing human well being and earths well being, have to side with earths well being over our own? Is there no possible way that what’s good for us is bad for the earth? Why wouldn’t a fully rational species strip this planet to bones and use those resources to solve what problems then arise?
