Carbon tax the fossil fuel industry to make them switch to green energy faster (they are already investing in this).

Win win! Form a political party in your country to focus on the most pressing issues (and avoid getting mirrd in eg gender bathrooms) and an app to unite everyone (I am doing this with rational.app and rational.party) REFORESTATION. CARBON SEQUESTRATION. There has been something in the human psyche that associates deforestation with progress. Well, it no longer is (we are bumping up against other limits). Support efforts like Nori and IBM’s carbon credits blockchain. But on a country level, it would be amazing if they set up a fund to reward countries for trees and carbon sequestration. Have actual incentives to grow it instead of laws punishing deforestation only. Bolsonaro would have something more cashflow positive from the rainforest in his mind finally. We have to PAY FOR WHAT WE WANT, WITH TAXES. Raise awareness, eg with scandalous art pieces that have a license to pollute with black smoke in a city, and attract people to websites that show accurate models of what’s happening NOW, not just projections.
