The western world has more or less come together to reduce emissions. If you look at US for instance emissions are down in abs terms. Not relative to gdp or per capital but total emissions. This holds even if you adjust for trade. The “prob

I think it's more competition for labor. Why is anyone paid above minimum wage? It's not through charity or "fear" that employees will revolt. It's that there's competition for that labor. Suppose a worker is w

I don't know, government waste and most policy sucks. But there's no reason we can't do stuff or even try. For instance, take Tesla. It wasn't anything revolutionary. Any auto manufacturer could have invested in battery

Group that raises money and influence to fight problem says problem is worse than ever. Timelines 5-10 years away. More than 10 years, no one cares. Less than 5 and people would actually expect progress. Dog bites man.
