- Wiseacre 5y agoAs we have already seen this pandemic, you can't always guilt or shame people into action.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoSure thats why the commenter said we're going to fry the world for our comfort. There are lots of straightforward steps we can take to reduce emissions, the issue is a lack of willingness
- Wiseacre 5y agoAgain a non-answer. What exact steps should be taken and by whom?
- amusedcyclist 5y agoI gave you a very precise set of actions that you personally can take, it can also function as a set of broad goals for governments to set tax policies (tax meat). I'm sorry that you don't like them
- Bancakes 5y agoStop producing meat, stop international flights, stop selling cars, stop producing clothes. That's the only way people will abide these policies. What's the point of saving the planet if you destroy your life?
- amusedcyclist 5y agoInstead of "stop", the more realistic approach is tax those things to reflect their damage to the environment and watch consumption patterns change. Unfortunately most governments won't do that either
- Bancakes 5y agoI'm already paying the vegan tax. So do we add meat taxes on top of that? Can we restructure the subsidies?
- Ekaros 5y agoOnly start producing and eating the optimal gruel as food. No more wasteful and useless things like coffee or fruit that isn't optimal for calorie-CO2. Evaluate diet containing all micro and macronutrients with absolute minimum carbonfootprint and ban everything else. Enforce these bans harshly.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoYes, I recognize that most people want to continue to live their lifestyles. I've come to accept that its very likely the planet is toast.
