While it's very true that greenwashing is a thing, bans on fossil fuels are not the right approach. You need sin taxes that account for the cost of the externalities instead. A CO2 tax is sensible, "degrowth" is a horrific thing that will kill billions.
- nyc_data_geek1 3y agoDone correctly, degrowth need not lead to billions of deaths. We desperately need to restructure our economic systems and societies to account for the reality that infinite economic growth on a finite world is not possible, realistic or desirable. If we do so, we can minimize the bleeding. If we fail to, billions will die on hothouse Earth regardless.
