> I was totally converted on the cause... Then you only understood a part of what he was trying to say, because CO2 is a necessary precursor for plant life and can be mitigated with rather effective methods which we fail to do at scale; what is a more critical green house gas (there are others like) is Methane, which is a natural byproduct from decomposing organic matter and has been sequestered and utilized for decades but due to short term thinking have been either allowed to dissipate into the atmosphere, or simply burned off as the costs to bring to market have been untenable. Reducing consumption habits on all levels, applying more sustainable approaches to what must be consumed and the re-utilization of previous waste materials is the real take away here because short of that it doesn't make a difference to simply focus on C02. Which seems to be where most have been focused on, and despite being a fan of Tesla, and simply pivoting from one dirty industry to a slightly less dirty one is simply not enough--it's a step in the right direction but not a standalone solution. Sidenote: There are more trees now in N. Hemisphere than there was 100 years ago [0], and with a superficial understanding of ecosystems the C02 levels were a non-trivial contributor for the plant life to do so alongside stricter regulation. 0: https://www.gotreequotes.com/how-many-trees-in-world/ https://www.gotreequotes.com/how-many-trees-in-world/
