It's like shouting in the darkness, isn't it? Don't become discouraged, though.

- londons_explore 3y agoI see only two solutions: * A global carbon tax/cap/trading/limit system, with sanctions for any country that does not comply. * A realistic risk that a global compulsory carbon cap/tax/trading system will be implemented, and that any carbon emissions tracking will be backdated - such that any extra emissions today might disadvantage your country in the future. With neither of the above two, it is in every countries best interests to emit as much carbon as possible and use free/cheap carbon based energy to produce goods/food/whatever, while doing only a few highly visible environmental moves.
