There are certain ideas, but to me they seem quite theoretical and hence not really suited to be a reliable solution. But maybe there is something of substance I am not aware of.
Sunset posted one I was unaware of. But let's say this was 100% true, why not making major moves in that direction? Why the laser focus on just reduction of emissions?
Quote:Reducing the emissions, however, is an approach where a lot of viable solutions can be achieved. From more public transportation to lower emission cars and filtering systems and green energy concepts and carbon taxes and so on, green new deal stuff basically. That's what I bleieve is the reason, that politics knows ways to reduce emissions, but does not know ways to reduce the damage already done.
And I have zero issue with these when they are not implemented by force or in draconian fashion.
Quote:Also, even if we could filter the air and bind some greenhouse gasses, reducing emisions would still probably be a good idea.
I agree with this as well. As long as such efforts are not overly onerous, I have zero issue with this. The problem is when you get ideas like, "you'll own nothing and be happy", or the "fifteen minute city".
