And you're a climate expert? You have all the nonlinear dynamics figured out and a good planet wide model?

You know the exact amount of species extinctions that the ecosystem can sustain?

You know the geopolitical dynamics that can help with a billion climate refugees?

You know how to keep phytoplankton generating oxygen in the seas when they acidify, or the temperate rises above where their proteins properly function?

So you got it all figured out?

No one have all the answers, that’s why we have to ask question, reflect and not fall into dogma and binary thinking.

I know a bit on renewable (big fan) and I can say they are doing a fantastic job, will replace everything soon (search Tony Seba) if you want to see where it’s going.

The transition toward RE is underway, it doesn’t show in co2 produce because they are still a small fraction, but on an exponential path of growth.

I think that the top down control and decision by government and the collusion with media is a far bigger and more urgent problem.

Let’s say you want the world to spend 1T$ for the climate this year, how much good will it do? How? When?

Could you do something better, save real life of real people this year instead of the future people of an hypothetical future.

You can look at this to see another perspective https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/ https://www.copenhagenconsensus.com/copenhagen-consensus-cli...
