Are you abstracting away the technical complexity when stating that it's not complicated? GHG removal tech that would scale simply doesn't exist if we intend to have some energy left to do anything else, as for removing pfas and microplastics from the environment, we are at the stage of running experiments in petri dishes.

And even if we abstract away the technical complexity, good luck convincing anyone to stop burning the free fuel we have lying around doing nothing now that we have everything-nuclear-solar and GHG removal at scale. We can barely convince our councils to build cycle lanes in dense areas if that removes any space for SUVs.

I wish I'd share the blind optimism of people like you, it seems pleasant to live in your heads...

ah, sorry, I am not optimistic, I just accepted that it's not a technical, logistical, or "resource constraints" problem

it's a coordination problem as you mentioned

based on this I moved to a place where I think things are a bit less crazy with regards to that (well, famous last comments ...eheh)

Ha, that was really not obvious in your initial comment, thanks for clarifying!

Mind telling us pessimists where that might be? ;)
