    We can start by telling the billionaires on the World Economic Forum to stop flying around the world on private jets which emit hundreds of megatons of CO2 into the air.

      How about all the Movie Stars, Athletes, and Commercial Jets. It's everyone who flies. Ban all Jets, cars and trains, everything that burns fossil fuels. Also, we must make the Chinese and the rest of the world comply, even if we have to resort to nukes, right.....

So that he lives just long enough until the world’s temperature increases so much that it would destroy all of his billions of dollars precious commodities. Remember when covid shut everything down and literally 90% of the world population stayed inside their homes and the planet earth rebalanced its self out for that short period? That nature started taking over and the air was so clean.

      There’s no gain. Maybe there’s some reduced carbon pollution but it’s not offset by China or India. Remember which corporations in the U.S. offshore? A huge amount of pollution in India and China are the result of billionaires in Europe and the U.S. and those that own stocks. Think about it. The west just offshored pollution. Then they make things more expensive in the U.S. further ensuring jobs don’t come back.
      Look at Germany literally closing down and manufacturing leaving Europe. The U.S. shutdown the nordstream pipeline and drove energy cost up or prevented Germany from increasing imports in the future.

  • @MrSupasonics

    I fully agree with astrophysicist but we all know it is 100% impossible and he also needs to admit that. Humanity will never NEVER give up their convenient and comfort lifestyle. We still drive a lot of internal combustion engine vehicles, and we still eat a lot of beef and pork. Coal mines and coal power plants still operational. People will NOT vote for politician who openly and directly claims to voters "let's live little less convenient and little less comfort to remove CO2 in the air".
    Plus, never forget that all developing nations, such as China, India, and all those southern hemisphere nations, will increase more CO2 for incoming decades for their own better life style, prosperity, and growth. We cannot just tell them to stop trying to live better life, because they won't listen.
    Claiming to achieve net zero or below by relying on changing lifestyle of humanity is very stupid and naive. We have to be realistic and have to compromise.
    I can only see the viable option is huge nuclear powerplant + renewable energy infrastructure to support massive amount of carbon capture facilities. I don't see any other options. I also know carbon capture is very expensive and limited. But it is much much more realistic and practical than being naive and praying and crying and yelling to people to live less comfort and less convenient, or expecting entire humanity suddenly become changed to escape from short sighted mind and altruistic.

    If carbon was a problem do you honestly think Obama the environmentalist would have increased war abroad or expand nsto? Trump didn’t get us into a new war and doesn’t think carbon is a problem. Biden and Kamala think carbon is an existential crisis for mankind but then would rather pollute carbon to fight Russia rather then let a part of Ukraine be independent or join Russia.
    If carbon was poison and bad then the U.S. wouldn’t continue it’s military force and endless wars.
