So stop the economic growth in the rest of the world to save the climate.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoThis would have to be forced through war, and even if somehow the developing world agreed to it without being held at gunpoint, it would still cause lots of suffering and death in short-term. Economic growth is not just zeroes on executives' bank accounts; it's food on the tables of regular people. Instead, IMO we should double-down on clean tech and then give it away for free, or even with subsidies attached, to the developing world. This way they get to develop even faster, while reducing their contribution to climate issues.
