How to use "Mitigation" in context?
Words can not describe how much I despise the word "mitigation". It's reductionist, ineffective and usually doesn't even come close to matching the scale of the problem. I cringe every time I hear it. It's as if its proponents think that by only talking about the mitigators, the problem will somehow disappear. It doesn't work that way.
We need to start thinking about how to actually solve the problem of climate change. Mitigation is not the answer.
