At what point does violence become the only course of action to stimulate change necessary to avoid catastrophe to the human species? Honest question.

Overthrow The Government?
At this point, the only thing that will change things are revolution or a flat out extinction level event that wipes out most of the population and hits that hard reset button. The planet is being destroyed because of capitalism, that's as simple as it gets too.

No, this is beyond just that. It has to be a global uprising.

I personally think the only reason we need a government is because ppl are too selfish and have too many varying viewpoints, negative or otherwise, for everyone to prosper without one.
Inhabitable for thousands of years is longer than a while lol
"sure there's been some accidents and outright disasters" so you wanna risk that on a major scale? like making all of a few states, inhabitable "for awhile"
Someone explain to me how nuclear energy comes in to clean up the environment anyhow, what that got to do with CO2 emissions and what not?

Overly-simplified:
Nuclear Plants use nuclear fission to generate heat in order to heat water. The steam from that water causes turbines to spin and generates electricity. The smoke from the Nuclear Plant stacks is essentially water vapor.
In other power plants, you have to burn fossil fuels to drive the turbines. The smoke from burning up coal goes into the atmosphere.
I don't understand how anybody's response can be, "we'll let future generations figure it out, it's their problem." That mentality is part of the reason we're in this mess. This isn't something that can just be put off if you want there to be future generations.
I know a lot of people don't have a high opinion of Chris Kluwe, but I thought this tweet was great.
