Most proposed "solutions" to this problem directly attack multiple people's livelihoods. They can, should and must defend against these things tooth and nail. Expecting otherwise is naive.

Real solutions look like building out a renewable infrastructure. A thing that is happening everyday already, spearheaded by humanely conscious individuals and companies (Google, Apple, etc). There is literally nothing for the government to do in this situation but get out of the way and facilitate such endeavours.

Instead, we talk about carbon taxes >.>

I remember a presidential candidate proposing a solution that was boosting the building of renewable infrastructure and technology, so exactly what you propose.

I think calling that a "humanely conscious" government, as you say, would have been appropriate too.

I'd rather that president lower my taxes and leave the infrastructure business to companies that actually understand how it connects to everything else.
I can't tell if this is satire?
By those beliefs, you'd rather NASA not had bootstrapped the commercial space business that now has SpaceX developing reusable rockets.
Yes, I would be against any program developed for military reasons. NASA has produced a ton of amazing things. But they did it so we could blow people up.
