Has the magic social solution done anything? When do we stop pretending that the whole world will fall in lock step? Did the world all agree that child exploitation is wrong yet?(ask the millions of people still participating) All things intelligent exist in one's brain and imagination is how each piece of everyone's understanding of the world began. The social solution requires a removal of freedom. The removal of freedom will involve a war. I would say the risk tolerance isn't black and white.

Did the covid lockdown require a war? Did everyone say ‘fuck off Id rather have my freedom than help fight the pandemic’? No? Then clearly there’s a path to getting people onboard with fighting climate change, it just requires the right messaging and education

  I live in Canada, where we invoked the Emergencies Act to handle the loosely coordinated group of people who disagreed with the measures the government was using. In other words, a group of truckers is enough threat to social order(in Canada) to call in a law that replaced the War Measures Act before it. This was over a little needle in the arm. The events are not reasonably comparable in the slightest. It is an incredibly difficult thing to become carbon neutral in today's society. What are you doing right now to fight climate change? I live my words and would consider myself carbon 'negative'. My actions reach outside of myself to positively influence the carbon impact of others. Also, everyone does precisely nothing. There is no single thing in the universe which enjoys unanimous agreement. The idea that the right messaging and communication is going to fix climate change is childish. It ignores reality. It is fantasy. I don't intend this in an aggressive or mean manner, it is my assessment of your proposal.
