That’s why government intervention is needed. We can disrupt these industries with the stroke of a pen. No matter how much it hurts, it’ll hurt more to let them continue to spew greenhouse gasses and other pollutants into the air.

This reduces into the most insane game of chicken ever played.

Everyone loses (in every dimension) if no one switches off, but the first country to switch off will absolutely lose (economically).

I’d rather just lose economically than destroy our entire society, wouldn’t you?
If one country destroys their economy and no one else follows, climate change due to increased carbon levels still happens.
Perfect! After you..
