The climate change debate is confused because a lot of people mix it with their own tangential and irrelevant issues. For example, broader environmental issues like plastic trash. If you're throwing carbon in a landfill and it doesn't decompose, it's not climate change. You may hate it, but it doesn't cause climate change, because that carbon went from being on the ground to being in the ground. And I'm not picking on the left and the green new deal crowed (where climate change is now a jobs, Healthcare and racial reconciliation issue as well). If you read right wing stuff, you'll notice the growing popularity of a sort of green fascism. Ie, people you didn't like immigrants before now have arguments telling us how you can't solve climate change without restricting immigration :rolleyes: At the end of the day I see two inseparable requirements to solve it: new technologies which let us keep our standard of living without emitting carbon, and a cultural change to accept and desire low carbon substitutes. For example, EVs let you move around without emitting carbon, but they can't take off until people's attitudes towards ICE vehicles change to associate them with dirtyness. Or synthetic meat. It's very important that vegans put the idea that meat is not great, but they are going against super powerful millenia old traditions and so very good substitutes need to be available to help people overcome that. Once you start running through the sources of carbon pollution and apply this, you get a pretty good idea of how to tackle the problem.
