You're asking for a nearly insurmountable burden of proof before you'll believe one side (stopping global warming as was already agreed upon in Paris like a decade ago) but not the other
- patrickhogan1 2y agoI believe we are more aligned on this issue than it might seem from this exchange. Like you, I value sustainability and recognize the importance of nature for both physical and mental well-being. Living near sea level, I experience the direct effects of climate impacts. I also use air quality monitors to track CO₂ levels at home and in my office. (As a side note, I think more people should pay attention to indoor carbon emissions; in many offices and fitness centers, CO₂ levels can rise to an healthy amount) While the suggestion about printing $100T to $200T is thought-provoking and is intended to address pressing global issues, I also consider the outcomes of similar actions during COVID. The significant money printing at that time—though aimed at stabilizing the economy—contributed to inflation and widespread challenges. I think we both share a desire to find solutions that address these needs without exacerbating suffering.
