CO2 emission reduction is the hardest way. It requires coordinating most of the humans in the world to act in a way that disadvantages them, while anyone who defects gets an advantage. A solution that can be unilaterally implemented by a sm

Emitting CO2 is not morally wrong in an abstract sense. It is only bad to the extent that it has bad effects. The major bad effect is warming. If that is mitigated, then the need to reduce CO2 emissions is legitimately lower and that's

I haven't seen an analysis of stratospheric aerosol injection that suggested it couldn't solve the problem. We know it works because it happens naturally via volcanoes, and if we do it ourselves we can do it almost entirely withou

Climate scientists keep telling us that achievable emissions reductions aren't going to be enough to prevent bad climate effects. The single-minded focus on emissions reduction is not going to save the world and it has a lot of bad eff

Seems like cities will fight transit much harder than before. Add it to the pile of unintended consequences, growing as fast as new legislation is passed, and never shrinking. To be clear, I'm strongly in favor of more development. But

UTF-8 is great and I wish everything used it (looking at you JavaScript). But it does have a wart in that there are byte sequences which are invalid UTF-8 and how to interpret them is undefined. I think a perfect design would define exactly

The chances of any elected politician doing this are exactly zero. We're going in the opposite direction and it's only a matter of time. There are very few places left on the internet that would even entertain discussion of this.

Blame everyone but the government, eh? To be expected considering the source. But we won't solve anything without looking at the root of the problem. Unfortunately, it seems to me like that dooms us to not solve anything.

The government doesn't need to build any housing. They just need to stop preventing people from building housing. All of the obstacles to building housing come from the government. Take them away and the problem will solve itself.
