Tax emissions, incentivize density, and let the market work.
We have already made massive strides against this problem. Yes it will require some sacrifices (like wealthier nations helping developing nations to leapfrog into lower-emission technologies), but what is the alternative? We just sit here and die? It's a bit premature to have come to this conclusion.

- sorcerer-mar 1y agoYes we should disincentivize continuation of these practices and incentivize adoption of different practices. No, we obviously shouldn’t be so extreme that we trigger famines. This isn’t even remotely necessary anyway given that the people you mention aren’t major polluters.
