| It seems like technological innovations and lifestyle trends are already reducing human greenhouse gas production: - Residential and commercial buildings with solar panels; - electric vehicles (albeit, the production of EV batteries is reportedly very dirty); - more efficient consumption of oil/gas; - CO2 capture and sequestration; - backyard farming (raising chickens, composting, vegetable gardening); - growing preferences for alternatives to red meat; - work-from-home that reduces use of the roads and highways; - widespread acceptance of plastics recycling; and others. I don't understand the use of the term "crisis" when we're already implementing pretty much every possible solution, and with some other cool solutions in the pipelines such as vastly improved batteries, better and safer nuclear fission reactors, electric aircraft, better and more efficient agriculture; better recycling of plastics, etc. I would advocate continued and improved support for these approaches through tax incentives, research grants, and education. Also, we should spur economic growth, without which we can't afford to do any of the above. We can solve this without the need to panic. |
