I mean… I’m finding that difficult to argue with. The rest of ”We must do something” is usually “even if it’s the wrong thing”. To which some people could say is nuclear, but I agree it’s an obvious future if it really was all about science.
Now I’m struggling to think of examples where the proposed solution isn’t a tax plan or an outright re-envisioning of society.
I’d like to find an example to see if the deniers still oppose it. I guess there are carbon scrubbers and planting trees. Are those things opposed more than they are pushed for?
