    I have an idea to fix (or at least improve) the problem we have with CO2.
    Every building with a flat roof should have tons of plants planted on it, and then people should collect the CO2 and put it into the plants (only a little, the rest of the CO2 for the plants would come from the atmosphere). Over time, people would be pushed to get new roofs with plants on them, even if they have a normal roof. This may not do much, but it sure helps.

    Our industrial output contributes about 2% of the total earth's carbon output. Studies show that as scientific literacy increases, belief in climate change as a human problem decreases. The Antarctic ice shelves are larger than they have been since measurements were made. Hurricane levels of intensity and frequency over the last 10 years have decreased. So, why are we worried about nothing?
    Deforestation, however, is a problem on many levels.

    Most of the electromagnetic radiation we receive from the sun is visible light (there is a reason why the eye evolved to see it) and as you know, when it hits the earth, the earth gets hotter. Of course this heat doesn't magically disappear. The earth slowly radiate it back to space as infrared radiation, eg radiative cooling. Greenhouse gases have the ability to absorb the infrared radiation going to space while letting the sun's visible light pass, which slows down radiative cooling.

    That's actually not true... Many major petroleum companies (such as Exxon) do support and fund R&D in renewable energy sources. It is important to be realistic and realize that as of right now renewable energy is not capable of being dominant source of energy for Earth.That doesn't mean that won't change in the future, of course.

    It is correct that there is limitless potential for invention, but as demonstrated through world history, periods of great advancement have come along with freedom both intellectually and financially. Unfortunately we seem to be losing freedom and liberty due to the ever expanding intrusion of big government into our lives. Henry Ford did not develop the Model T because it was mandated by the government.

    There are numerous studies and history as evidence that shows people aren't motivated to work for money. Atleast not the stuff that matters atleast. When it comes to repetitive jobs, money is a perfect motivator. But when it comes to creativity and innovation, money doesn't play a role at all. Look at Einstein, Nikola Tesla, Newton etc. they weren't motivated by money but their passion for something they loved. I'm limited to 500 characters but I have a video for you

    But most of our species AREN'T idiotic or greedy. It's the artificial outdated system that we've created for us combined with the lack of knowledge that is the problem. I'm talking about the monetary system which remains unquestioned. While it was necessary a few centuries ago, that very system is holding us back. Studies have shown that people are inherently empathic. If money was out of the equation, majority of our problems would go away.
