I mean, I make an earnest call for us to put politics aside and the response is a yahoo news story about AOC? C'mon, this is what I'm saying – let's make an honest attempt to focus on solutions we can agree on. Politicians are going to be politicians – but most of us are citizens. And there are a lot of possible solutions we can come together and support. + Massive reforestation efforts. While we're at it, I'd suggest whatever we're paying countries sitting on massive natural forests to not cut them down, we should up it by an order of magnitude. + Let's once-and-for-all modernize our electrical grid. We've been close before, and it's actually doable. And there's national security reasons to do it, and you don't even have to believe in Climate Change to know that downed power lines happen all the time from extreme weather events. Places like Arizona can't risk losing AC, etc. + Invest in a Manhattan style project to advance carbon sequestration technologies. Perhaps it'll never work. Maybe it's true that it just gives fossil fuel companies license to continue on as normal. But I think it's worth a shot, and might appeal to centrists and people further to the right. So I think people on the left and hardcore environmentalists should compromise here and accept that there might be a way to solve this problem that doesn't remake all of society. Last one is the most controversial, and probably politically impossible because nobody likes a tax, but I think a Carbon Tax is a no-brainer. Look: the tax payer is already paying for the negative externalities of fossil fuel emissions. But the fossil fuel companies are not. We solved the ozone issue this way in the 90s, it allows 'the market' to have a hand in the process, and could lead to both innovation and consumers adapting and choosing the aspects of their life they don't mind compromising on. It's better in my opinion than dictating that everyone ration x, y, or z. Let people decide with their wallets.
